City Lights Super White H6W Bulbs Where to get??

Hey guys,

I couldn't get the LEDS to work with the load equalizers so I'm opting
to go the normal route and get some super whites for my city lights.

Do you guys know where I can order these super whites on the internet?
I believe they are H6W's

Thanks in advance

I got the LEDS to work without the malfunctions after I installed
the load equalizers. Problem is that it drained my battery some how
and I don't want to go through that again. So that's why I just want
to get the super whites.

There is no logical reasoning that the installation of the LED's and load equillizer would drain your battery.

I know what you mean TRESX but that was the only thing that was
done besides removing the resonator. I took it to the dealer and they said
that there was a power draw from the equalizer which was causing the drain.
I've since replaced the battery and all is back to normal. Except I still have
those yellow city lights.

I'm befuddled. Load equalizer is suppose to be (simply) a balancing resistor
isn't it? So, when the light switch is OFF, there isn't any power going to
the LED, equalizing circuit. So how is this placing an ongoing draw to the
power source? Am I missing something?

e.g. many of us have blinking LED as anti-theft indicator on the panel. this
can continue for days and yet, you're not seeing a depleted battery. [scratching
my head]

I would say that your condition is nothing but a coincidence.
