I am converting to 12v next week.
To get the current tail lights to act as turn signals (in addition to what they do now) should I purchase the "Ugly Bulbs" from Snyder's? They are halogen and I really want bright stop lights to keep the crazies off my rear...
In defense of those that believe 6v is a better option, the following is a list of "things I will buy" to complete my conversion:
12v alternator - $125
12v battery - $90
Battery disconnect switch - $24
Extra cable for disconnect switch - $8
Modern starter bendix - $25
Modern ignition switch w/accessory position - $12
0-30 Amp ammeter - $9
Horn voltage reducer - $17
Electric wiper voltage reducer - still haven't found one
Turn signal kit - $53
Conversion kit to make Cowl lights turn signals - $36
Amber lens for Cowl lights - $12
Turn signal beeper - $6
Halogen headlights conversion kit - $97
Tail light halogen signal bulbs, aka Ugly Bulbs - $25
In addition, since I will have the 12v system completed I am adding:
Water temp gauge w/illumination - $63
Temperature probe pipe for water temp gauge - $17
Oil pressure gauge w/illumination - $57
Chrome dual gauge holder - $74
FSI Zipper distributor w/flame thrower coil and stainless intermediate shaft - too much $$ to admit
So, yes, you could stay with the standard 6v system and things would work just fine...so why do we do all these things??? Crazy I guess. Guilty as charged...
