Hi all,

Further to the problem of fitting a stop and tail LED bulb - RING do a good one part number: RINLED3829R 5/21w equivalent - however, it has offset pins and Paul Beck's L582 and his 422 bulbholder have parallel pins! I have in the past "bodged" the pins on a bulb so as to fit. Thus the following questions:

Is there a good bulbholder with offset pins that can be made to fit the L582?

Is there an acceptable way to modify the existing parallel pin bulbholder?

I would be grateful for any help or suggestions.

Dynamo and Regulator Conversions does parallel pin LED bulbs. I bit the bullet and purchased a whole set (stop/tail, indicator, headlight) from him.

Not cheap, but nicely made and using high quality LED unlike the previous Chinese tail lamps I've been using. I'm really pleased with the headlights - the only problem is that the dynamo now charges at 6A with all the lights ON!

On the other hand, my brother has been known to file off the offset pin and solder lumps onto the bulb which can be filed up into a parallel pin. Seems to work OK.

For information, I have just received a pair of replacement dual pole lamp bases from Tim Hodgekiss.

They are the same as his reproduction lamps and as such are direct replacements.
