Updated 07/11/2013 | Published 07/10/2013

Question:

1. i see it is incandescent, right? 2. but it is sealed...so 3 can i get it in amber, WITH incandescent bulb? 4. can i use it in my 6 volt car? can i change the bulb? AND for the LED amber light similar, can that be used in my 6 volt car?

Optronics sealed marker light # A91AB is indeed an incandescent light and it is sealed so you cannot access the bulb to change it.

A 6 volt system will not be enough for an incandescent bulb especially since the system will likely be powering more than one bulb at a time. The LED version draws less power but is still designed to work on a 12 volt system and will probably also not work despite drawing fewer amps.

We do not offer lights specifically for 6 volt systems at this time.
