Passing lamps woes.

[GaryR]

2016 Softail Slim S.
Took one of the lamps apart yesterday as bulb blown (I think) it appears the lamps are a sealed beam unit!
Can anyone help with what to replace it with please? I’ve seen some HD halogen bulb conversion passing lights sold as a pair.
Before I order wondering if anyone else has had similar problems. Oh and the wiring of the new lamps doesn’t look straightforward.
New to Harleys so everyday is a school day.
Cheers
Gary.

What size are the lamps Gary? You should be able to swap them out for some LED units if you can find a comparable size.

Thanks Martz They are 4 1/2 diameter but Im going to go with the tractor lamps for the mo. I bought some S/H halogen replacements but as soon as I turn them on they turn off, maybe a relay issue, I dont know its a guess. I hate electrics.

Cheers for that, although I have some lens that fit the H3 bulb but when fitted when I switch on they turn off. I'm hoping the sealed beam units which worked before will work again if you see what I mean.

No I'm pretty sure they were on with main beam on.
