Looking for a rare 6v Round Bulb

[Andrew1990]

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone knows where I can get a new headlight bulb for my Velosolex 4600? Picked this thing up at an antique shop and everything is running but the lights. I am pretty sure I will have to rewire the back light but I think the headlight wiring is still good.

I tried Velosolex America site and still awaiting a response, but if I can get a third party light for less, that would be great.

The identification on the back of the bulb is GE 4667-2 and it uses 6v of current, not 12v.

Would a 6v Harley light work? I know you can usually find them in some of the mom and pop shops that carry NOS (new old stock).

Wow.. that is a hard bulb to find.
I came across the 13 volt version, but not the 6 volt version.

and that is expensive! Might want to retrofit.

Hmm, I have not thought about trying a Harley Light. I guess I might want to try the local dealer.

I am presuming you need the entire sealed beam
and yours is not a replaceable bulb type headlamp.

I think this is what I need! Thank you very much. The dimensions roughly match my lamps dimensions so for $15 I will give it a try. If it doesnt fit the assembly on the bike, I am sure a little rigging is in store.
