Anyone know what the bulb number is for the two overhead lites that provide light for the panel on the C-170B? The rehostat has been removed and the wires are hooked directly to a SW in the overhead and come from the bus bar via a CB.
Thanks.

GE 67 or GE 87 will work.

Re: Bulbs for overhead panel lites
Thanks...tried two 89's and they seem to work properly. There were two 1309's in it and they were so dim that at night you couldn't see the light unless your hand was 5" in front of them. Anyone know where I can get a rehostat for the lights?
