Hey guys anyone know where to get some amber lights to replace the front running lights? I want to wire them up for turn signals.

It's just a 5W push-in lamp.
Take one out and go to Auto Zone and match.

I re-wired mine when I replaced my mirrors with Firebolt mirrors and just left the OEM bulbs in.

Go for the LED 194. Much brighter and longer lasting. I went with the "cool white" so they have a blue tinge versus the normal bulbs being a warm white. Any one of the 3 colors should be within your states DOT acceptance. Look here: http://superbrightleds.com/specs/bulb_specs.htm

FWIW, don't get carried away with the size (diameter) since they have to fit through the same hole as the stock lights.

Ok switched them out and all wired. Got the bulbs from pepboys, but would like brighter ones. Ccryder so many to choose from witch one did you get as I am not sure of the size? By the way I am running crg bar ends with the darkhorse moto blanks in the mirrors. Love the way she looks without the mirrors on!


Ah nevermind I figured it out thanks. Got 3 different kinds to try out they are so cheap.

I got the 6 LED cool white. I think they also had a wide angle option that I also choose.

One word of caution (don't ask me how I know) but, be careful when you are pulling the rubber socket out. You can snag the bulb and it will fall out, into the headlight assy. Just call it PITA!

Later.
