I have a Kawi fire and steel spotlight bar and want to change my spotlights to amber or yellow lenses. Anyone done this? I am willing to change the lens or the complete light to accomplish this. Anyone know where I can buy amber/yellow lens or lights that will work with the Kawi spotlight housings? ???
Thanks!
Mr. Bill
Krylon may still sell a "spray paint" product that is called Stain Glass (?). It came in certain colors, of which I don't know if yellow was/is one of them.
It was used for crafters making stain glass windows from plain clear glass. Check your local craft store/dealers and see what they might have similar. You could spray the fronts of the bulbs and see how that might work for you.

you can buy the spot lamps thru J&p cycles or cheaper still at NAPA auto parts. yellows will be seal beam units. i had them on my royal star. they looked cool,but didn't do much for lighting
I was about to say, I think the amber are sealed beams. That's all I have been able to find... some here.

I left the F&S & just replaced the bulbs with these:

Thanks for the advice! I did some more research and found that GE and Wagner both make suitable amber replacements. Like Chief said, they are a sealed beam unit, the part# for both brands is 4415A. I picked up some Wagners at Napa for $15/each. They fit in the F&S spot buckets perfectly and look really nice in my opinion. Don't forget to run a ground wire off these as the stock fixtures ground themselves to the bucket. After installing them last night I took my first ride of the year up here in Wisconsin...smiling ear to ear the whole way! ;D I'll post in the Mods section once I get some photos.
Thanks again,
Mr. Bill
Yes please work up a mod. It is good to know we can use the sealed beams
Glad you found what you wanted; Hey just noticed I am 1 hour south of you maybe if ride this way some day and we could compare; I have the Crystal Ions in mine.
