StopRay lights in back. When I converted from 6 to 12 volts, the upper (brake) bulb fits ok.
But using the same size bulb for the lower (tail) is a dimensional issue. It's just too big. I cannot
install the license plate glass in the driver's side fixture due to the size of this lower bulb. Also
the red lens is smashed up against this same bulb so I cannot properly fasten the outside lens
frame. What smaller size 12 v bulb with same base diameter and post dimension can I use?

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Be yourself. If you are ever lost, It will be much easier to find yourself if you know who you are!

It's bent at an angle and offsets the lower light socket further back in the housing so you can use the larger bulb and still get the lens back on. E-mail if you need more info | | |
