A set of aircraft landing lights will give you more light.

XXXFLHRCI-- Do you have a part number and source for the landing lights? Are they a pencil or wide beam? I am real interested in the application.

Thanks -- Tom

They are Wagner bulbs. You can get them at NAPA, Tractor Supply and I believe CarQuest for about 9 bucks. They come in a variety of wattages. Those are 35 watts, the same as the stock bulbs. They are unfluted, so they have a strong beam and so not disperse the light to the side.

I wouldn't reccomend replacing your 35w passing lamps for higher w... I've done it and it is a P in the A... the light cups heat so much inside that your bulb's filaments break with the slightest vibrations.

You are going to be replacing bulbs every Sunday. Install additional lamps instead.

Regards.
