Does anyone know the simplest way to convert the stock parking lights to accept two filament bulbs?? I understand NAPA might have a conversion kit. Does anyone know the part # for them. I appreciate the help and advice. | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2004 Posts: 1,312 | I changed out the socket from a single to 2 contact style - you can buy the pigtails at most auto supply stores. My truck is 12v. Not sure about 6v stuff. | | | | | Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 Ex Hall Monitor | | Ex Hall Monitor Joined: Aug 2005 Posts: 6,377 | The socket would be the same 6v or 12v. The only difference would be the bulb used.

With a little work with a die grinder and some epoxy or solder, I can convert the light assembly to accept a different bulb socket. Not sure if anyone sells a kit to do it, though.

Edit: Just noticed you're a short distance from my farm, about 150 miles or so. Take a weekend road trip, and we can do the conversion in a day's time. I'm just off US highway 64, east of I-65 about 5 miles.
