Light up hood ornament- what bulb/ fixture?
 
My ‘55 came with the standard hood ornament. I bought a lighted one. But what type of socket and bulb does this take to light it up? Are any available aftermarket, or anyone know a source?
Thanks

Not a lot of info in the 1960 Pontiac MPC

I just used a 194 bulb and socket for mine, its plenty bright. took a little trimming, but fits nice and snug . The socket just fits in the hole in the hood, not the hood ornament.

Thanks Bill.
After not getting a response here, I turned to Facebook. A guy with a ‘55 had good luck using a light he found on EBay, so I went this route.
No time to hook it up yet, but he did similar to you, and mounted it in the hole in the hood, as opposed to attached to the light insert itself.
