All of the light bulbs are listed in the owners manual and Service Standards book.  The original headlight bulbs without aiming knobs are no longer available.

For anyone valuing authenticity, I have a few NOS GE 4030 headlight bulbs which were OEM for KF 47-55.   8)

As has been said they are no longer available and aren't easy to find.  The 6006s which are readily available have the aiming nubs on them where these are smooth.

$30 each plus shipping.  Anyone can e-mail me if interested.  mbfleming@aol.com
