It sure has gotten easier to find the BA20D bulbs than it was 2 years ago. More styles/shapes, and highter power.

great link getting all bulbs there now millsc...stick with me brother...you know me ..I gotta lotta ideas..tricks and links up me sleeve. I even know places where you can get things that are free for 1/2 price...  ..... ;D Just a reminder..which you already know..always wipe Halogen bulbs spotless with a rag cause the oil from our fingers causes hot spots which makes them burn out. Yer gonna like the quality of the bulbs. I am sure you have seen some of the ba15 bulbs on scoots you worked on...where the quality was so bad..that ring that goes around the base is tack welded on crooked...or ba20 bulbs where the indexing notches that lock into the socket..were too big..  Not these bulbs..again..quality!  |

I just change out the socket and replace the bulbs with bulbs from the auto parts store.
They have the sockets too.
Some modification is needed, but works great.

Lots of folks go that route..or the HID route. Both work well. But girl..you are talking like...manual labor and other like that... ;D I did that on one scoot...but the Auto parts store wanted $24.98 for a pair of bulbs. But we Native Americans are cheap like that...if we can't trap it...catch it...shoot it...or trade some cheap beads for something..we don't want it... Glenn..aka..Yayiima benatigee |
