I'm a pilot the bulbs burn out quite often they don't have a long life on a plane .probaly less on a truck.
Do a googal search you will fine plenty watch what you buy some are 24 volt systems on aircraft.

Aircraft lighting is 28 volt tho in the military there has been occasions when 24 volt was used to jump start small aircraft in emergency. does work but not very well
