Single contact bulbs will have the pins aligned. Dual contact bulbs will have pins that are offset so they are installed correctly. Check you light bulb housing to see how many contacts there are so you can match the correct bulb.

Mine looks slightly different. The two nubs on the side are both at the bottom of the bulb the 1154 are offset one low and one slightly higher. I’ll try the 1154 but ...

I paid 16 bucks plus shipping when I bought mine a year ago. Per their web site all there products carry a lifetime warranty.

The turn signal front bulb is a 1154, same as the stop light bulb. Advance Auto Parts has a free lifetime replacement switch for the stop light switch. My experience is that the switches last about 4-5 years with silicone fluid before they require extra pressure to activate them. The tail lights on the 49 cars are not very bright, I would change to a LED bulb.

In regards to the bulbs. Looks like both of those are a single connection point. Mine is a double? I also checked cup and they had no price on the brake switch. I’ll call them during the week

On a side note does anyone know what the bulb number is for the front parking lights? I know tail are 1154. Similar but slightly different side nubs.

51504bat Did that low pressure brake switch have the correct bullet connectors? If so, I would like to hear where you got it. I replaced my brake switch with a Harley Davidson part because it does come on with less pressure. But I had to create a wire transition pieces to go from the original bullet connectors to the modern spade terminals on the HD switch.

My guess is you have 2 issues. First is a ground problem and the second is the switch itself. The stock off the shelf switch I had in my '39 p/u didn't activate the brake lights until the brakes were fully applied. I purchased a low pressure switch from a supplier in Orange County, CA . I have the info down in my shop and I can post it later today. The low pressure switch allowed the brake lights to work when I just tapped the brakes as opposed to only coming on with full pedal. Others have used a switch from Harley Davidson as a replacement for leaking switches. Don't know if they are low pressure or not.
