Where to get light bulbs for the RT/10 third brake light (aka the light bar)

[octopus]

Whats up guys... I have a bulb out on the light bar and can't seem to find a match at the parts store. The only marking on the bulbs are "GF 89180" ...I'm pretty sure thats what it says but its blurry and faded so its a little hard to tell. Doing some research on the various forums, it seems that nobody really has a part number for them but people have had luck finding the bulbs in random stores. So does anybody have a bulb number for these? They're very tiny (jelly bean size) and I couldn't find another bulb with the two prongs sticking out of the bottom. ..Thanks in advance!

What distance apart are the prongs? That will help narrow down the base size/designation...they look very similar to a 12V landscape lighting type bulb.

Well, I would say that you should email JonB at Parts Rack. If anyone knows and has the correct replacement he would. Unless you get a knowlegeable answer otherwise, here, you will have to guess wattage and order what you think is closest from Digikey or Grainger or such. I would bet that it was marked GE, not GF as GE makes that style miniature two pin incandescent bulb. I searched on the numbers you gave but didn't find a reference to them.

My memory might be faulty...but I think it's an 891 in the CHMSL on an RT/10...

All the bulbs are usually listed in the owner's manual. 2000 lists 891...

1994 CHMTL > GE 8901
Do to current projects, my owners and service manual have been out and handy.

The owners manual for my 1999 RT-10 is also GE 8901

Kind of looks to me like the GE 8901 listing in the older manuals is a misprint since that bulb type does not show up in a google search; but, there are multiple hits and availability of GE 891 ( actually listed as GE 891 BP which kind of matches the OP's reading of the faded marking on the bulb. )

Also, there appears to be multiple manufacturers of the 891 bulb.

You guys made quick work of this thread... Thanks everybody! The part number is in fact 891, rather than 8901. I think it may indeed be a misprint, Jim. If anybody is looking for these, I just got some at NAPA and the part number is "LMP 891". They look a bit different than the originals, but the replacement fit and works well. Thanks again for the quick help!
