Hey, an electrical engineer can't let a question like this go -
If all you have available is a 12V bulb, then take a volt/ohm meter and
measure the
equivalent resistance of the bulb you have. Then, in series with the bulb
put a resistor of value
equal to that of the bulb. It will voltage-divide the 24V so that half the
drop
is across the resistor, and half across the bulb.
I guess you could look for a NOS mil resistor if you really wanted to stay
authentic !
