| Not for nothing the incandescents in mine are GE 1076, rated 12v. Bright, perfect. Jack On Feb 17, 2016, at 8:16 PM, RJ Kanary wrote:

took the low budget, brute force approach here. A low profile
European automotive battery that was mounted to a board atop the front
ET batteries. Just fit safely under the hood. A 40 A
two way radio fuse holder, a pair of NAPA rubber utility lamps
mounted on either side of the aluminum casting /
grille, restuffed with 4509 Av Landing lamps. (
100W each.), all connected with #12 wire.
I charged the
lighting battery with
another charger, to keep things simple, plus
avoid any issues with
dimming due
to any ET loading.
Simple, but elegant. :)

I tried 36volt 3-LED bulb replacements with the correct socket
configuration, bought online, and they didn't work worth a damn.
They'd light up on the ~40 volts from the elec-trak charger, but cut
out completely at almost exactly 36 volts.
One of the virtues of incandescent bulbs is that they still work when
your batteries are getting tired, they just get dimmer. LEDs are
usually less forgiving!

Hi All,
Yesterday I wanted to plow at 6am, but discovered that both headlights had
burned out.
I finally found a spare GE1076 in my junk box.
Has everyone tested a LED bulb replacement for the GE1076 or replaced the
complete ET headlight assembly with a multi-LED unit?
Thanks,
