Hi All- I'm in the process of changing over my lights on my 03 ultra. I used the h4 bulb for the head light, and that works fine! I need to know what type of bulb to use for the 4.5 in passing lamps. Thanks in advance

When I went to change the passing lamps on my 03 ultra I had to wire in new sockets/reflectors for LEDs. I couldn't find any plug and play LEDs for the old style sealed beams. It's been a few years so plug and play replacements may be available now. Check Ebay and amazon.

I went different routes, first with aircraft landing lights from Napa, same size, sealed beam, didn't last on the springer, then went to a 55W spot, OK but too much draw I had to up the circuit breaker to 20A, lastly I went the LED route and never looked back....yet

FWIW you can buy the same thing on Amazon for less than 1/2 the cost.  Put them on mine over a year ago. No problems. The headlight comes with adapters.

I put a set of these in amber in on my 03 RK a few years ago and am very pleased with them so far, they fit very nicely. I believe you can also get them in clear. I have been using amber for years now because I think that anything that makes you different will get the attention of the other drivers.

Well at least that's the thought.

If I remember yours didn't fit for your bike, right?

Could be they changed the design from when I got mine?

Correct. Those Cree "Daymaker" amber passing lamps did not fit the 2012 Ultra EG. I would swap out in a heartbeat but don't want to eat another set.

If you want to change your passing lamps to amber you could just switch out the bulbs.

they are plug and play  :up: Sorry I missed your reply, the ones I linked to was for early models with the 4" spots I think, the have the 5 3/4 headlight and spots combo too, I ordered the 7" by mistake - they shipped me the 5 3/4 no questions asked. I think they have headlight and spots for almost every model, year.
