    Anyone know where I can get some 6V 15 W brake light bulbs from ?.......tried all the usual outlets and nobody seems to have them........failing that, is the wattage that important ?, would a 6v 10 w do for example ?......I assume that they would be slightly dimmer ?......

    Convert it to 12v, you'll never get seen with those tail light bulbs, and you may as well have a candle in the headlight......

    Thought COOL:) at 1st - cable breaks/chop & re-thread.....NOPE,buggers unravel right to end.!,molegrips initially then graduated to vise.
    Slinky guides a little helpful with a selection but let down by shite construction on some of the soldered ends (throttle notable) - dremeled size down as well.;).
