Does anyone know where I can get light bulbs for the front headlights on a wd45. It is a 12 volt system.

What size lights? If they are the 4" 4511's, go to Harbor Freight and buy their rubber utility lights with the H 3 halogen bulb. The glass lense pops right out and will fit in place of a 4511 sealed beam. They are on sale for $8 right now.

For a replacement bulb when converting your 45' to 12V, use the 199 HD truck bulb. This is the equivilent to the 1156 single filiment/backup lamp bulb for passenger cars. Just a heavier filiment for vibration. Another upgrade you can do to enhance the light is install new reflectors to intensify the area of light. It helps!

Check Steiner. The reflectors on my Oliver 60 had pretty much lost all of the shine from them. It has like 5 3/4" which isn't as common so I had them chrome plated. Kind of pricey. Cost $50 ea. Steiner came out with replacements for like $15 ea.

That sounds like a BRIGHT Idea when I get hold of the lights I want.
