Hi everybody,

My name is Jan and I am living in the Netherlands and just bought an Delta 88 from the US.
I have a question which I can't find the answer in the repair manual.

Does anybody know how much watt the small bulb in the rear back cornering lights are. I think 12 volt 5 watt ? Is this correct or should it be 3 watt ? The old one doesn't say anythink at all on it.

We don't have any Oldsmobile dealer here in Europe.

Thank you very much.

You could also mail me at jet.janus@ziggo.nl

 

What year is the car? You should be able to read a number on the metal part of the bulb just below the glass. It will be small and if your eyes are not that good just get a magnifying glass to rear it and you'll find out what you need.

 

Thank you, it's a 1985. but there is no metal part at this small bulb and it does not has a inscription or anything were says how much watt.

If it's a tiny bulb in the side marker it's a 194. For some reason I was thinking it was the tail light and that would be an 1157. I hope this helps.

 

Hi friend,

 

3.78 watt (.27 AMP) 14 volt T3.25 Wedge Base #194 Miniature Incandescent Sylvania Light Bulb
Sylvania 194 34761

Light Output: 25 lumens

Refers to the literal measure of the light-output of a particular light bulb, measured in the number of lumens.



Energy Used: 3 watts

"Watts" is the term applied to the amount of energy required and used by a particular light bulb. It is an international system unit of power equal to one joule per second. Contrary to popular belief, the wattage of a bulb does not directly measure the brightness; the "lumens" of a light is what defines the actual light output.



Average Lifetime: 2,500 hours

This refers to an average lifetime rating based on large quantities in test groups. This testing takes into account usage of 3 hours per start for fluorescent lamps and 10 hours per start for HID lamps.



Volts: 14

Voltage is a measure of electrical potential.



Bulb Type: T3.25

The "Bulb Type" is typically a combination of the style of bulb as well as the width of the bulb. Usually, the first couple letters will indicate the type; "G" would indicate "Globe", "PAR" would indicate "Parabolic Reflector"... The numbers indicate the diameter of the light bulb in eighths of an inch; a "G40" would be a "Globe" style that is "5 inches" in diameter.



Base Type: Wedge

The "Base" of a light bulb is the part that either screws or snaps into a receptacle. Base Type terminology may indicate common descriptive words like "Medium" or "Candelabra", or may even contain numeric codes that signify size and variety, like "E26" or "2GX13".



Length: 1.054 inches
