Headlight

Post by R100 » Sun Feb 15, 2015 9:39 am

My headlight is the one with the replaceable bulb and parking light bulb.
Is there anything either good or bad about that as compared to the sealed beam headlight?

You get to replace a cheap bulb when it gives out...
You get a choice of bulbs.
Sealed beam units appear to be for US market.
Brit versions always had replaceable bulbs.

I have seen that the Stanley 5676 35w/30w bulbs can be found. Are there other choices that fit?

There were several different types with different bulbs, I think.

I think it is #17 in the diagram.

Some on E-Bay as well.
