Can someone please advise the number of the cabin dome light bulb for 1946 model ? I have been unable to find it in the parts manual. Is there a LED replacement?
Thanks, Jimmie

With Dave's pic and John's prob part #, Aero-Lites.com has the likely LED replacement: "A premium quality LED drop-in replacement for 12~14-Volt AC/DC, T3-1/4 "tubular shape" single-contact miniature bayonet base (Ba9s) miniature light bulbs. Dimensions are identical to filament version for a no-questions drop-in replacement."
