I was watching a YouTube video of the "Le Mans 1955 disaster" and at the 53:13 part of the video I noticed this in the video, the crash in the upper left but in the lower right of the screen capture something that I thought you might be interested in shovebill.

i guess the new, more appropriate moniker, should be Cibiebill......LMAO

A buddy of mine has a set of Cibie's, very similar to those, on his Harley and loves 'em.

the Airport 135's i put together for this bike will be an amber fog on the right and a clear driving lamp on the left......i also got a triple switch setup from Harley for the left hand switch housing to control the aux lights, fog and driver......the'll trigger relays for battery voltage.

being this is the first BCM bike i ever had, i need to see what voltage that it is actually giving the bulb as it IS the relay for the circuit.......****** computers

RUH-ROH....

If you have a PWM circuit running the headlights, and try to use that to trigger a relay, you will most likely have to add a capacitor across the circuit to keep the relays latched, and keep from burning the contacts.

There was some talk in the Jeep forum you had linked of PWM circuits... and the companies that built drop in harnesses wanted a small fortune to add a capacitor that you can add yourself.

This has 9006 plugs, but will work.
