QUARTZ HALOGEN PILOT / SIDE LIGHTS
Daytime riding lights & indicators
|
6 & 12V Quartz Halogen pilot light bulb BA9s and BA15s. Bright enough to be noticed without straining your charging circuit. Direct replacement, needs no wiring or switch changes. These replace the bulbs in illustrations 25, 26 & 39 in the diagrams of standard bulbs. The BA9s is usually found as a pilot light inside a headlamp reflector, whereas the BA15s is often fitted by itself as a side light. Miller headlamps sometimes use the BA15s as a Pilot bulb. These can also be used for brighter indicators. These will fit British bikes 1920s to date and most other cars and bikes The BA9s 6V 10W or 20W and 12V 10W & 23W are ideal as daytime running lights. |

|
On older British bikes the pilot bulb is turned off when the headlight is on On more modern bikes the pilot bulb is not turned off. Because of heat this limits the pilot bulb to 10W. |
