Re: Ceiling light bulbs for 74 double cabin 38
Those bulbs were hard to find 10 years ago when I had to replace mine. There are clips on either end (black disks with copper prongs), pry out and are used on the new set of bulbs. Make sure you take them out before disposing of the old bulbs, they are very hard to find. Remember a member on here posting these are similar to bulbs used in old Juke Boxes, which he was into restoring. The clips are even harder to find then the light bulbs, or at least they were. If you really come up short on finding replacements PM me, I may have some in storage space, can't remember if I saved them after I replaced all lights and head liner.

I actually found OEM bulbs thru Amazon for our boat, but you may consider updating the fixtures to newer equipment. PO for our boat had replaced bulbs with LED plug-ins, but they turned out to be a fire hazard as the fixtures were 24V but the LEDs were supposed to be dual voltage 12/24V. I removed them and replaced with OEM halogens.

I removed all the fluorescent bulbs and installed magnetic LED light strips. Simple and economical

They are called lumiline incandescent lamps. If you find replacements they will be very old stock, very expensive and will not last long. I saved the fixtures and rewired them for dimmable led lamps.
