We changed it to 12 volt and need a 12 volt bulb for the spotlight. Does anyone know where we can order one. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2005 Posts: 6,100 | Hy jdzcno, welcome, if you tell us the number on the bulb, we may be able to identify a compatable twelve volt replacement. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 239 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2009 Posts: 239 | Just one place www.unityusa.com to look.
When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

I looked for one at donsbulbs.com, but did not have enough info. The only BLC listed at Don's is 130volt. Might keep an eye on this thread on VCCA. Similar question to yours.

They are not on ours. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 1,232 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Oct 2010 Posts: 1,232 | The pic was on the page that I linked to on taillightking <dot> com. Looks like the center screw connects to a terminal on the end of the hot wire. And the outer screw connects to ground. Call the guys at "taillight" and at "unity" to discuss and find a 12v substitute.
Not sure if hi-beam sealed beam quad headlight were 5-1/2" diam or 5-3/4" diam. It's not ideal, but you might be able to use push-on spade terminals to adapt one to your spotlight if there is enough space in the housing. Watch for high current draw.
