The standard incandescent N-17-7172 bulb was originally used in all of the applications listed below, however we have sourced LED versions as an alternative upgrade if you prefer.

Bulbs sold individually.

Please use the application list below, and the drop-down menu to select the bulb option you need. 

Standard Applications:
• Bus (1968-72): Front turn signal (1 required per side).
• Bus (1968-79): Rear side marker (1 required per side).
• Bus (1973-79): Front turn signal (1 required per side). Also requires one (1) bulb
• Vanagon (1980-91): Rear side marker (1 required per side), license plate light (1 required per light) and Parking light for H4 lenses.

Why switch to LEDs? LEDs outperform incandescent bulbs in every key area: brighter light output, instant on/off response, vastly longer lifespan, and—most importantly—dramatically lower power consumption. This lower power draw translates to a much lower amperage requirement, which is especially beneficial for older vehicles.

In classic vehicles, aging wiring, terminals, and sockets naturally develop higher resistance over time. Because LEDs require less amperage, there's less voltage drop across the system, meaning more voltage reaches the light socket. Higher voltage at the socket improves lighting reliability—one of the main reasons vehicles transitioned from 6V to 12V systems in the first place.

The bottom line? With LEDs, your stop, turn, reverse, and marker lights are far more likely to work exactly when you need them to.
