Avanti's used 57R bulbs for instrument lighting. Some other 63 & 64 models had them as options.
A lamp set can still be obtained from various Studebaker vendors. In addition, the standard 57 bulbs or suitable replacements: 1816 or 1895, may be used and stained or painted red.
I have elected to "upgrade" to an led bulb (in red) that is made to replace those bulbs. This new-fangled bulb uses less power (think less load on system) and has an average use cycle of 100,000 hours.
I'll post with an update in a few days, after receipt and installation.
