Oh yea. I have been meaning to ask. I bought older fenders. What year is the running light? Anyone know where I can find the lense?

H/L should be a 7” sealed beam, H2 iirc or a LED replacement would be brighter. As long as you’re ok with blind oncoming traffic 😳

You could wire your headlight through a relay if you want to preserve the stock sealed beam look and it would also still be a benefit on any other type headlight you use.
