Can anyone tell me or point me to alisting of the correct headlight bulb identification for a 38 Master Deluxe. I assume there were (are) multiple manufacturers with differing number schemes. Where's the best place to get these bulbs? Does the bulb age affect its performance?
Thanks,
Fred Marc

The bulbs are 2320L for all vehicles according to the spec sheet. The only way age should affect the bulb is the hours it's used. Just sitting on a shelf shouldn't be an issue. I got my stock of bulbs through my local Bumper To Bumper store. They had to order them which meant I had to buy a box of 10 but that wasn't an issue for me plus I didn't have to pay shipping. Chevs is selling the 2330 bulb for that application. I don't have a clue as to what the difference is between the two.

The Filling Station sells the 2320.

On the 2330, one of the filaments is higher candlepower. Going by memory without checking the charts, I think the 2320 is 21-32 candlepower and I think the 2330 is 32-32 candlepower. The L after the number usually signifies long life.
