    My M38A1 has dash lights just like a M151. My question what 12volt bulb will replace the 24 volt

    Do a little google-foo. Identify the bulb "type" by its shape and fit. Then research that size category for different voltage/wattage options.

    Also possibly check with military vehicle parts suppliers or collector websites.

    I found what I needed to know. If anyone needs to know. A 24 volt 1829 blub that the military uses in the dashboard lights converts to 1892 in 12 volt.
