Re: Headlight bulb
I change the bulbs from 3cp to 10cp. MUCH brighter and will fire a thermal flasher if needed. I can't remember the number though without running out and looking.

Re: Headlight bulb
Just wondering. Has anyone used the headlight as turn indicators? Not the parking lights but the normal headlight bulbs used for night driving. It would get people's attention. There is probably some law against doing that.
