Re: Did you change your 6v. Packard to 8v or 12v?

38 Packard Sixes and Eights had particularly small and not very visible tail and brake lights and a friend of mine with two 1941 seniors thought his to dim as well for safe night driving. We installed quartz bulbs from Hirsch and the improvement was welcome. They draw a bit more current and get warm so best not to use them behind plastic lenses unless there is ample clearance. I still have all OEM type bulbs in my 34 and find them sufficiently bright, even though not sealed beam headlamps.
