1967 Dash bulb specs

[Brian M.]

What is the difference between an 1816 bulb and an 1893 bulb? The 1816 is used for inst. panel, clock, radio, brake warning. The 1893 is used for glove box, heater control panel, A/C panel. They are both 3 watt bulbs and appear idenical. So what is the difference? FYI 1967 coupe. Thanks Brian

My specs indicate both 1816 and 1893 bulbs were rated at 3 candlepower.

Although bulbs can have similar power consumption (watts) and output (candlepower) specs, they can differ in other ways: (1) bayonet barrel style, (2) globe geometry, (3) filament design & geometry....

Hello, in the 70 owners and service manuals the 1816 is specified as a 2.5 candel pw and 1893 as 2 cp. That's a difference, supposing the bulbs are the same in those years as the #s are.
