I can't remember NAPA's part number but if you take your six volt bulb there they will match it up to the 12 volt one.

You want to use a 199 bulb. Heavy duty filiment for Heavy trucks. Takes vibrations much better than your average 1156 style. Any Auto store should have em'....

Steve, is that the bulb that has the same base as an 1156 but the glass is larger?

Bri,

Not sure if the glass is larger, but the filiment inside is heavier for vibration....
