    I'm sure people remember the practice of using those 12-volt, 200,000 candlepower Aircraft running lights in vehicles with 4-headlight systems. I'd been saving 2 of them for many years and cracked one (don't ask!) during installation. I surfed the 'Net last night looking for a supplier but I'm just not having any luck. I've also heard them referred to as "Farm Implement Lights". I've always liked how they look with their clear lenses over conventional headlights. Anybody know a vendor? Thanks fellas.

    4537 is a 100 watt lamp I believe.Remember the Lucas Flamethrowers? Off road guys use 200 watt halogen lights that'll burn paint off the car.
