headlight bulb
I already spoken with the guys at Western Hills. They told me that all the chrome parts(oem) are gone. There has been a big interest in restoring old Benleys for the last 10 years. If you put a 12 volt bulb on a 6 volt system the bulb will glow but will not develop any where near full brightness. Simple fact of physics, there isnt enough pressure to force enough watts thru the filament.
I have already gone through the site of the taillight guy in North Carolina and
found that most of his 6 volt headlight bulbs require a socket that he sells for 217.00 Too pricey for my blood. The VW bulb that I referred to in a previous reply comes with the socket and is 10.00
I have looked for a 6 volt H4 bulb but at this point I havent found one. I think that 6 volt systems were outdated before Halogens were invented.
At this point, I think that the asian reproduction is the easiest, cheapest alternative, but Im open to other ideas. Also Spokes has already tried the repro and reported that it worked well. Thnks Curt
