Hi Mel,
Don't feel bad, when I first got my m37 I rewired the headlights myself, then proceeded to test them w/ what I thought was 12volts, well they got REAL BRIGHT then went dead, a quick check showed
why,my test voltage was 24volts, $25 worth of lights down the drain.
Remove bulbs and connect an inexpensive multimeter( $10- $20 )to the contacts ( set meter to a position that it will read voltage in a range up to 24 volts dc.
Step on brakes and note reading , this will indicate which bulbs to buy.
Don't take the comments personally , every once in a while someone tries to pull our legs with a silly or humorous post and it illicits that kind of response.
I have to admit I was rolling with laughter, reading the responses ! That is ,until I read your response and saw that you were offended.
it was all in good fun.
Send me some pics of your truck and good luck!
What state are you in?
