Hey guys,

I had a bulb for the front marker lights on my Delica burn out. It looks like any other automotive bulb, but is proving tough to locate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The housing calls for a R19/5 bulb. It is a 12V 5W bulb with a bayonet base, and a small round glass bulb. Seems like almost every other bulb on a car, but the 5W is the hard thing to locate. I found 7W, but I don't know if that is okay for the lamp assembly.

GE lighting has a bulb catalog somewhere on their website. I used to keep it handy at the auto parts counter until a district manager threw it away one day. Idiot. It identifies bulbs by their bases, and states the specs for each bulb. About 30 pages.

7W might give off a little too much heat for the housing.

Here's an R19/5 bulb I just found. Might even help with time travel.

Led replacements don't get hot.

Also Sylvania #5007, Philips #12821.

If the R5W is the proper one, they are used in tons of 850-60/70/90 series Volvo's. Not super common, but easy to find at a Volvo store.
