You can use small globe double contact 6 Volt bulbs. I installed hidden turn signals on a 1940 Ford Deluxe using them. At the time, these small globe bulbs were available from MAC's under part number V13465HR6. These are sometime referred to as "Hot Rod" bulbs. You may be able to find these bulbs from a source on the internet.
