Greetings:
I added the Big Bike Parts/Show Chrome running lights to my '99 Aspen 3months ago. Both bulbs have now burned out. At $5.95 EACH they are not worth replacing (that's $48 per year for bulbs). Someone suggested soldering a wire across the nubin's so that I can then use the second filiment. That would cut my annual cost in half if I wait until the first element burns out... but I don't really want to disassemble this thing every 3 months. Has anyone cut the wiring harness at the light and replaced it with a more common bulb/bulb holder? If so, what bulb did you choose? I think the current lights are 18 watt each. I only want the lights to increase the visibility of ME, I don't really need more light on the road.
Thanks
