Re: {Chrysler 300} sometimes eBay sellers drive me nuts...

Life of the bulb goes down as something like the 4th power of voltage...People mess with VR adjustments , turn up the charge V ; despite what is out there, advocating 7.5 and 15 V , over 7 or 14 kills the bulbs. But the lights ARE nice and bright.

Also sometimes you see brighter bulbs installed, by someone picking non stock "higher candlepower" numbers off a bulb catalog.......but say in a 1034, the large diameter high watt filament for brake and turn signal has a very short rated/design life compared to the park or running filament.You can see the difference immediately by the color temp of the light and filament. High temp /bright is very white light, long life more yellowish. How it is.

Halogen filled taillights are an answer that puts tungsten back onto the wire ; they come from China.I have bought but not used yet (in 1034 type guise) LED can bring a bag of worms. But halogen upgrade seal beams are good,as are reflector types with replaceable H4 bulbs. LMC truck sells nice ones.

I never considered the potential perishability of the incandescent lamp. Beyond vibration what are you concerned about?

Just venting…

I wanted to try and find some older production 1004 light bulbs for the dome lights on the ’64. So I look on eBay.

One guy is sitting on a number of 10 packs of the bulbs sold via shell gas stations. He states no refunds. So, I ask him if I order two or three packs and test them and some or all of them test bad, will he send out replacements.

The guy tells me to buy from someone else.

I just love people who do not stand behind what they sell. I responded to him that he should change the description to boxes of light bulbs that probably do not work for shelf display only….
