This is cheap!
Are you satisfied with the results and where can I order them? Willy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif) |

I had these lights from a motorcycle I restored. Any BA20 base fits. It's slightly smaller so tweaking the tabs on the base will tighten it. This is a high/low beam bulb so I bent the contact on the base to contact only the back element. You could light up both sides but it would be very bright. I also had to cut off part of the top to fit the front shade. you can buy them here. (EDIT) I see they are out of stock so do a search

What does the light pattern look like? I tried some LEDs any the pattern was way off as they distribute the light differently.

this is plug n play? I was having issues trying to come up with day lights and was told i needed to add a resister within the wiring, so had stopped. This looks like a great safety option to have them on as running lights

This looks like a great safety option to have them on as running lights Follow the few steps I outlined and plug them in. I also slightly rewired my fog light switch to come on with the ignition and not the headlights.. |

Here is a link to a pair of LED bulbs that I used that require no modifications. The LED's are positioned 360 degrees around the bulb to make use of the deflector. Both the hi and lo contacts were made without any mods.
