I am based in Finland. 6V sealed beams are almost impossible to find here.

Where do you buy diam.7" 6V sealed beams from?

I frequently order maintenance parts from RockAuto, but could not find 7" sealed beams there...

Thanks,

    They are the same as used in VW's, up through the mid 60's, Jeeps, and most american cars and trucks between 1940 and 1956. The Wagner part number is 6006. Bob Drake sells them, and so does Summit racing, and Amazon.

    You can also do an LED conversion using #H6024 from Headlight Experts. They work on any system 6v to 24v.

    Thanks, I actually found them at RockAuto also, looking for 1970 VW Beetle. However, most of 1940...56 US makes had smaller unit, diam 5,25". I checked all GM brands, I also have 1948 Dodge which uses 5,25" bulbs as does all the MoPars from -40...-54. Below the beetle bulb info at RA.
