Someone turned me on to these lights bulbs MR16 led you can get them in 50 w at Lowes or Home Dept . the are for a track light but they work great. I have been using them for about 2 years. They are 12 v and fit right in place of the impossible to find Piaa bulbs. Jim
I am so happy that I saw this post today because one of my bulbs is blown and I have been unable to find a replacement one. I will replace both of them with LEDs tomorrow.
if we are referring to the PIAA 1100's, I have the MR-16 LED bulbs installed. They work very well and have lasted for at least 3 riding seasons so far. I was tired of replacing a replacement bulb every year at 45$ each. I purchased my MR-16s at Menards, a pair for about 12$. Also, a little modification was needed....some of the cooling fins on the back needed to be shaved off to fit the shape of the housing.
I bought a pair 2 years ago during winter maintenance,they were an exact replacement for the old ones.... one recently burned out so I went back to Batteries Plus for replacements.....17.95 each
I had the PIAA 1100 lights for many years. One bulb replaced some years ago, but last year, the second one burned out, and I could not find a replacement even from PIAA. So I removed them, and for $60 from "superbrightleds.com", I picked up a pair of 2" square LEDs that are amazing. I kept the original wiring harness and just spliced in the new LEDs. Also the old mounting brackets fit the new lights. They are just as bright as the old PIAA 1100s. High recommend going to LEDs.
Frank Nitti, do those bulbs you show fit the PIAA 1100 housings? If so, I still have the original housings and can mount a second pair of driving lights.
