I've got this in an old Notek Fairlite 777 lamp Never seen anything quite like it  It has Mazda 12V 55W Made in England written on it, and possible 23 and B  I'm looking at getting an LED replacement so I can run it straight off a gearbox switch for a reversing light. Can anybody identify this bulb - my Google foo is weak today. |

Is the bulb just the glass part? VW sidelight bulbs looked similar to that in the '80s, but you could pull them out of their holder...

Thanks I did wonder that, but there is no sign of movement. Also these are 55w - whereas the ones you linked would be more like 5/10W |

For it to be ‘mazda’ branded it’s got to be old. It’s most probably obsolete. How does it fair size wise against a H3? That is probably your best bet at an LED replacement that will fit.  |

Nice one Rich - I think we might have something here Very close in size to the H3  A mod seems pretty straightforward, as I might be able to remove the "cage" from the bottom of bulb. I think I'll order up a couple of H3's and see how my luck is  |

Hold up, a 55w (or LED equivalent of)reversing light? A standard halogen for that job is 21w.

Whether you believe you can, or you cannot, you're probably right.
