autozone 29$ if you have a core. or 10-15 more without.forget the 4$ 2 wire plug.. spade terminals on wire work fine. 194 bulb or 1-3a diode is fine. |

| Reason I say use the plug is that in the past I have had problems with the spade terminals getting bent and that in turn shorts out the alternator and lets the smoke out |

| i'm just not into buying a few dollar plug when i can make it for 10 cents of parts. I'm frugal. :) more money I save on useless 4$ parts.. the more tractors I can save up and buy. :) |

| Ya easy most people I do the 12 volt conversions are those that see 2 wires remove them and then get them back wards and that is on a good day. When you have the show them what an oil bath air cleaner is and how to change the oil you know you have to do it so it is as we us to call it sailor proof |

| Ya know what you mean there. I still say a person to be able to have a drivers license should have to show the tester how to check the oil the radiator the brake fluid and also be able to change a tire in a safe manner. Ya the tire could maybe be lot go if they had triple A or some such thing but even then maybe not |
