What is the correct light bulb for the parking light on a 36 Master.  Also, where can I get the wire 'clips' that hold the glass headlight lense onto the headlight ring?  One of mine is held on with duct tape.  Works, but...

Thank you

Ken

Not sure about the bulb. I don't remember if that's a BA9S or BA15S socket. I believe I&I Reproductions sells the retainer clips.

The GM Heritage Center Resto-Pack says on page 103 that it's a #55 bulb which would be a BA9S bulb. Those are still available today.

I found the bulbs and I'll order the clips.

Thanks
