Default Re: 6 volt lights

On my 32 I installed 35 Watt Halogen bulbs and new reflectors - they work pretty well and cast a nice wide light pattern for the country roads around me. The stock 18 amp generator would not handle the bulbs without being at a slight discharge, so I did have my generator reworked with an alternator core by EJ Whitney (see link below).

The converted generator is slightly larger in diameter in the case, but one really can't tell. It has a fake cutout on top - you hook up the wires in the normal fashion. I just dropped it in and off I went - great product. It is not a cheap conversion, but just about nothing on my car seems to be cheap anyway (something to do with that damn '32' year ).

Only picture I have of it - not that great but you'll get the idea:
