Title: What bulbs to use in Stop/Tail/Directional MCI
Post by: Jerry32 on March 12, 2007, 03:30:45 PM
I was trying to find bulb numbers for the tailight and directional andstop lights on a 88 MC 9 / 102a3. The book lists a number fpr each but it is the part number for the whole light assy 24V and when I go to truck light that makes it they don't show the bulb required. I have to go get the bus and drive it home and know there is a light out but don't have it here so I can look and see. Jerry

Jerry, I don't know about your 102 new square style lights, but an older  9 uses a modular deal that is replaced in total.  A "sealed beam" if you will.   
Call Luke (or Mike at US Coach) , he'll tell you for certain. 
Best, JR

That might be the case here as the book list numbers for trucklight and when I go to their web and put in the numbers is gives me a description of a rectangular 24V light in each case. I guess then I would have to order from trucklight or???   Jerry

A phone call will resolve?    You probably have modular lights. 
Keeps the lens looking good.   MC9 lights are cheap...about $9 bucks for a turn or tail light.   I had to replace one because the crappy little plug is...well.....crappy.  Replace is too easy.  Just push or pull and they'll pop right out.

I just called the local napa store and they say it would have to come from the factory. I will try the web and see if you can order from trucklight.  Jerry

Nobody stock 24V lights so guess I wont be fixing the tailight that is out right away. I thought I might get it going before the 2500 mile tour of the US.   Jerry

Luke stocks them and I'd get it working.  The fewer 'issues' that can get you pulled over!

My 9 has bulbs P/N 623/24/V6CP.
I have gotten them from Luke as well as NAPA.
I put the same bulbs in the clearance lights.
The tail light bulbs come out in the engine compartment 1/4 turn sockets.
;D
The ones from NAPA are #T624 / 3J
