HOGFAN Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Does anyone know where I can find the bulbs/lamps for the HK 430 and 730? I need the fuse lamps, stereo indicator bulb and the pointer light bulb. Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks, Hogfan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Mouser has fuse lamps and festoon lamps. If you want, you can also buy LED festoon lamps from multiple sources. If your lamp circuit is A/C that could cause some noticeable flicker, if DC, you can add some cool color behind the glass...

HOGFAN Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 Thanks for the info....I'll give Mouser a look. I was hoping there was a kit of all the lamps needed, which would make it easier to buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted November 11, 2014 Share Posted November 11, 2014 (edited) Mouser lets you buy in quantities of 1. Here are clippings from the service manuals that tell what you need. What it doesn't tell is what type lamps they actually are. You say they are fuse type. Can you take a picture of one and post it? Here's the buy list: QTY - Description 6 - 6.3V 0.25a 2 - 6.3V 40mA (6.3V 100mA) 7 - 8V 300mA PS: hifiengine.com has the service manuals for both units free.

HOGFAN Posted November 11, 2014 Author Share Posted November 11, 2014 Much appreciated! The only fuse lamps are the 6.3V/250mA ones.....6 is needed. The other two lamps/bulbs are different.....they are tiny bulbs at the end of wire leads. It looks like they will need to be cut off and new ones soldered on. Look like Mouser's the place. Thanks!

I was hoping there was a kit of all the lamps needed, which would make it easier to buy. If someone sells a kit for bulbs, it wil be the same bulbs at twice the price. If you can go LED, do it. They run cool and last a very long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 If you use LEDs, you will need a resistor in series for the current limiting. Otherwise, they won't turn on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HOGFAN Posted November 12, 2014 Author Share Posted November 12, 2014 I called Mouser and they helped me pinpoint the lamps/bulbs needed. I asked about using LED's, but they said what Marvel added.....a mod would need to be made to the unit, by adding resistors. That said, I just ordered regular lamps/bulbs. I'm sure LED's would have been a better option, long term, but I did not want to have to mod the unit. Thanks to all for your input....much appreciated!
