Where do you get 6 volt bulbs from for semaphores and stop tail lights?

I got a pile of good ones from Custom Vee Dub a couple of years ago
Are the semaphores the same as the parker / number plate ones?

Semaphore bulbs are different in size

Ebay :)

Otherwise most small motor factors either still carry these or can easily order you some in.

I'm pretty certain that on the Beetle they're all 31mm long and not the longer 36-37mm. So just keep in mind when looking for them.

Also worth checking out LED stop lights or for snowflakes Chip on the Samba does really good LED conversions and double the LEDs used compared to those few sold in Australia that are made in China :)
