I'm so glad someone started a thread on this, and cheers to Norman for creating his solution and making it available.

I'm going to do some bulb research, and I respect Norman's business decision to keep it quiet.

I'll post what I find, because I want to install a Halogen or Xenon bulb in a pre-made housing that provides some amount of side-lighting. I find a small amount of side-lighting to be crucial when it's really dark.

The super cheap Bell lights you can buy at Walmart cast a really good beam, including some side lighting, and require 4x1.5 volt AA's, so they might be 6v compatible already. Granted they look like the cheap plastic they are, and I've already had an old one fall off and break into pieces, but I'll be damned if they don't cast a bright beam. They just eat batteries way too fast. White wire! White wire!

LED's bite for front lighting, but it's a great idea to use the white wire to also power a red LED brake light. Anyone have specs on a radioshack LED (or multiple LED's) that worked good for a brake light powered off the white wire?

Just my $0.02,
Mark
