aux. light bulb, walley-world replacement ???
Looking for Aux. light. the bulb has H7649-1 HD# is 68351-05. DUCK, he goes a shot in the dark, anyone know of a "wal-mart" replacement. AutoZone laughed, when i said it was for my HD and said good luck finding it other than the dealer.

Sorry I ain't up on the new bikes, but is this a sealed beam lamp, or a plug-in halogen type? If it's a plug-in, look for a lamp that is an H3. H3 is a single filament for things like running lights, while an H4 is a dual filament for headlights.

OK guys, time for Economics 101. While it might be difficult to cross the HD lamps, there is an alternative. Check out one of the aftermarket suppliers, whether online or at an indy shop. If the prices are better, buy 'em. Then look for an industry number on the replacement.
Disclaimer: While I often quote J&P part numbers and prices, I do so knowing thay are often higher priced than other sources. But their catalog has tons of goodies, good pics, and is easy to find stuff in. They'll send you a free one for the asking, and you can buy from 'em, or use it as a resource, or both. Other parts joints that often have better prices are Jireh, Direct Parts, Dennis Kirk.
Having said that: J&P has replacement turn signal lamps and tail lamps for late 2003 - '05 bikes. They have lamps to replace the old 1156 & 1157 bulbs, too. Check 'em out and see if the prices are better than the MoCo.

Ifn that aux light is those 2 what harley calls passing light s on the front. They are the same size as any tractor light. You can buy them at many auto parts store. Tractor Supply has them for about 8 bucks.

I cant remember the part # but they have 2 diferent ones. some where around 35 watts, I think.Brand is Waggner. 1 is the clear lens and the other is like the old light bulbs used to be. The clear matches the one on my deluxe good. It is not halogen , but is regular fillliment. I installed both to try and my wife said the clear one was better because it did not seem so bright in eyes. Probaly because the old type(the lens has all those long squares in it) scatters the light more).
I see to many of the aux ( I call them aircraft landing lights) that are aimed up to high and are to dang bright. Sure it good to see and be seen but not to the point that you are blinding oncoming traffic.

The GE H7649-1 appears to be obsolete. It was a 27 watt sealed beam halogen lamp with a PAR36 base and operated on 12 VDC.
I found a similar 12 VDC 20 watt PAR36 base halogen/xeon gas sealed beam spot lamp that looks nearly identical for $8 or $9. It has a 5 degree spot beam like the GE H7649-1. It is very bright (as bright as the 27 watt).
The only difference is the H7649-1 uses spade terminals and the replacement I found uses screw terminals. Not hard to change. Looks/works great on the bike!
