Most common in old Hella and Bosch fog, driving and other accessory lights are Ba20s. "Ba" stands for bayonet socket, "20" is the diameter in mm (meassure it) and "s" is for single filament bulb. For one single fog/driving light 45W-50W was common to use, for two fogs/driving light 35W was recommended with 6v (even 70W extra is a lot for the old generators). At least in Europe Ba20s 6 or 12V is not that hard to find.

Ba20d is as said dual filament, used in headlights for low and high beam. Motorcycles used this type of bulb longer than car makers did and they are easy to find. Also in halogen and LED versions. You could accually use them/ they fit in place of the Ba20s, but both filaments will burn at the same time (if the single contact of the light get contact with the two poles on the bulb. An old trick was to but a small washer on the poles). This mean that a 35/35W bulb accually uses 70W (not a good idea) but you could use lower wattage bulbs or LED. |
