Replacement for Fire Truck Warning Light

[EMS1]

Where do you find replacement light for older American La France fire engine, circa 1982? These are in the front, red and are essentially an auto headlight. There is no dome so lens of light is colored. It is jointly housed with an amber light, so red/amber both sides with regular headlight underneath. In center is a Code Three light which moves side-to-side. Interesting look. Unit is still in use.

These are sealed beams... can you get the part or bulb number off it?


Does it look like this?

I found it! Thanks for the link. I can back track at least. The sealed beams are round. The 2 I looked at had different numbers. We had a dusting of snow here, so will get picture ASAP.

No, he describes one as being there too, but the light he is talking about is a sealed beam headlight.

I believe you are talking about the lights like the ones on the front of this engine:





They should be 5001R PAR46 Sealed Beam Headlamp Bulbs...not sure what the modern day equivalent number is but someone should be along to provide that info,or you can cross-reference it online. Hope that helps!

You guys got it! That's the round sealed light and pretty much the same engine. I'll still try to get pic of center light.
