Since I lost this person's contact information/email, I'm trying to get ahold of the fella who was making the foglights that had the lights from an airplane mounted into them. Apparently he had worked at a airport at some point. I was thinking his first name was Sergio, but I could be wrong on that. I recall he was from CA.
I had one light take a dump and need of a replacement is why.
Anyone know of this person. I was thinking this site is where I oringinally found out about them.

might take the bad light to a local airport maintance shop and see if it can be sourced that way or use the trusty internet, see if you cant find a name or part number on teh unit you have and see if it comes up in a search.

good luck

PS let us know, that sounds like that ought to be one heck of a bright light!!!

I'm actually working on a system to directly replace the old light / lens with a sealed bean unit. I did this inthe 80's with my car. Worked great. I plan to make the rubber to hold the light in too. I'll PM you a little later.

I love sealed bean units. Just beware that under some conditions they can be dangerously explosive because of the internal gas buildup. Kind of like dead armadillos in the desert. (Warning, do not kick the armadillos.)

Also... do not stare down armadillos at night while in a tent, they will approach at staggering speed. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

i drive around most of the time with my stock fog lights on, makes the small 914 much more visibable in day time with out popping up head lamps. dont care about no lighting 101, basic common sense says to me it is a good idea, the more visable you are the better.

hey look at me, I am over here, dont run into me, cause I am important enough to not be hit by someone that may otherwise not see me.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Especially with the whole "HELLO I'm over here; (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bye1.gif) in my micro 914; don't run into me!!!"
