Hi Al, that may be true of the 9011 as the packaging was non descriptive, However the 9012 came from Germany.

Dont forget Radio Flyer's 4_Hi harness for the C5. $36 bucks with shipping. Plug and Play. Hi beams are all 4 headlights. With LED fog lights, its quite impressive as far as an upgrade.

You may think it will, but it probably won't unless you trim the correct tab to fit into the socket.

Here is what I installed:

PIAA EXTREME WHITE PLUS HEAD LIGHTS

PHILIPS 893 CRYSTALVISION DRIVING LIGHTS

Nice improvement over stock, but still direct replacement with no mods necessary.

nice.. thanks.. right now i replaced them with the "world famous set on fire" Sylvannia ZKE bulbs the other day, will see how they work, just looking at them they appear to be clearish, and not candles, have to do a night ride for the real test. Everyone has the best apparently. I think RF setups are the way to go if one wants light.
thanks for your input.

You can build one for less than 10 bucks, radioflyer even posted the schematic. It's just a spdt relay, a fuse and some fuse taps. There are quite a few diy if you search.

Have you ever heard of "Deer Whistles"? Seriously! They work, and out here in Oregon, where deer were invented, I've been using them for years. Never had deer troulbe for as long as I've been using them, day or night.

I've just replaced my 2000 stock bulbs with LED's and so far I'm not all that impressed. There may be a slight improvement in color and strength but it's not what I had hoped for. I don't like the HID bulbs/ballasts so I hoped the LED's would work. So far, not worth the effort.
