★ This bulb is intended for military vehicles with 24V electrical systems such as early M-series lorries and jeeps from the 1950s-1960s.
Application
This 24V blackout bulb fits the blackout systems of post-war M-series military vehicles. The M38, M37, M35 and other M-series vehicles from the early 1950s to mid-1960s used 24V electrical systems with blackout lighting for convoy driving.
Installation notes
Check that your vehicle has a 24V system — WWII vehicles (MB, GPW, early CCKW, WC-series) used 6V systems and require a different bulb. Insert the bayonet fitting bulb into the holder, push in and turn clockwise until locked.
Compatibility
IMPORTANT: This 24V bulb is NOT compatible with 6V WWII vehicles such as Willys MB, Ford GPW, Dodge WC-series or early GMC CCKW. These vehicles require 6V blackout bulbs. Always check your system voltage before purchase.
Historical context
After WWII, the US Army switched from 6V to 24V electrical systems for improved reliability and performance. The blackout lighting system remained conceptually the same — limited light emission to prevent detection by the enemy during night-time convoy operations.
