Hi everyone need some help on figuring out what size Hxxx bulb is used on my B5100DT I found that it's a 5w bulb which is pretty low power but what do you need for running light, I have some H2 and H3 bulbs but their 55 and 100 watts. I have the glass lens still intact and I thought I'd my use of them even earlier owners disconnected, in fact I keep finding wires unplugged, "why fix, just unplug and wrap around this...) Thanks

There are some light bulb websites which can pretty quickly help you find what you need. (filter on TYPE of bulb/socket... then look up wattage.)

Another approach would be to lookup the original Kubota P/N for the bulb on the Kubota website... then search for that P/N in another browser-tab to find alternate replacements.

thanks for responding, tried searching on google and a couple other search engines with not luck Yet. I checked Messicks and they show a socket blub type. The way I know it's a H type blub is that was the normal blub used for European and Asian vehicles in the 70's and 80's, Hella and others not here though, Their
probably using a "running light blub" their low wattage and Kubota's is switched.
News flash just found H3 5w 12v 6000K white with single wire blade (spade) fitting and Kubota's a bullet connector, easy change. Have to go out and make sure it's a H3 but it looks like their available in H2 and H1 also.
Oh $7.37 for two
