AKheathen Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 well, i guess you will have to try them out, but should be equivelent to a 30 watt and 15-5 degree sealed beam....all i can say is try them out......no info online about the specs....... Quote
So Cal Suspension Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 found some mr16 led lights that would fit in the wal mart fog lights. they are 12 volt. but it says they are 2 watts? i dont know much about this kinda crap so....will they work? if not then please explain so i might learn something lol If they are the MR16 replacements with like 30 led's they aren't very bright, as well as the ones with a SINGLE lense. However if they are the ones with the 3 led's set up in a triangular shape like the one below, those ones vary in wattage usually from 3w total power, all the way up to 15w. 3 x 5w = 15w. They should fare pretty well with the vibration also. Let us know! post some pics if you can! Quote

Snopczynski Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 I have a set of those in the lights in our trailer. They are bright, but not as bright as I think you guys are hoping. Good stuff costs money. Quote

T_Shee Posted December 12, 2009 Author Report Posted December 12, 2009 Keep us posted on how it ends up. Oh yeah nice seat cover. LOL lol ya i like yours too. i will let you guys know when i put them in. hey snop you think the ones i posted in the second link might be pretty bright? Quote
GrMeyer Posted December 12, 2009 Report Posted December 12, 2009 They suck for anything other then lighting the tree. I was thinking the same thing last year for the dunes and its a No Go. I was better off tape'n flash lights to my quad and helmet. For the Mr16 you need to find spot light and not flood. or find both and run them both. I got mine off Ebay. Other wise you will end up spending about $5 a light Quote
T_Shee Posted December 13, 2009 Author Report Posted December 13, 2009 ok thanks for the info. guess ill just pick up some more 35w bulbs from lowes. the 35w ones i put in there before were pretty bright but only lasted about 5 hours before blowing...wonder if my regulator is bad Quote
GrMeyer Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 Yeah they will blow because of the high vibration from the bike. If you can, you can think of a way to rubber isolate the light. And if you go from lowes is a quick fix for the lights and you will be payn out your ass. If you can get on Ebay for some other whole sale place you can get a lot of them and you can get half spot and half flood. But best of luck with the light as I have been running them for a year now on the same lights after I have put some rubber orings to help out. I also added a red corner 3 led light as my break light.

AKheathen Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 well, i baught the walmart lights last winter. i kept the 1 50 and got a 20 from lowes for 1 spot, 1 flood, and they hae handled the vibration as well as extreem hot/cold.........still worked fine today....... Quote
