Can you give me a pointer to where you found your lights?

Guess I'm spoiled, because I live only three miles away and can visit their store. They had a display of the modified lightbulbs in their retail showroom. I would suggest you call them directly.

John,
I called and they refered me to their e-Bay store. Is this the unit?? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1940-...Q5fAccessories
I have a question in to them asking them to confirm the amber bulb is dual filament.

LOL, I read their description and it's not very clear is it?

Yes, these are the same units I have in my car, but listed for less than I paid. I think the confusion is due to the fact that only two wires come out of the amber bulb socket. I think I remember they were red and a yellow wire. The socket has "a common" ground, so one wire was for the turn signal and the other wire was for the parking light. They had a small instruction sheet included that was very informative, had they included that in the listing. I guess that is one thing I like about Summit and MSD web sites is they have a pdf of each parts instruction sheets and all dementions.

I may well be ordering a pair of these. I made my decision process a bit easier late today when I was picking up the various pieces of one headlight assembly from the floor and the SnakeEye unit slipped from my grasp and broke the clear lens. I was/am not a happy camper! To add insult to injury, the units are AutoLoc, but listed/marketed by Speedway as "their brand", sold only in sets of two. I may be able to convince them to sell me one, but one is $80 plus shipping, and I still don't have all of the features I want. Yours solve my problem, and for a $20 savings for the pair.
