H7616 Bulb for Passing Lamps?

As near as I can gather from threads here, I can use a H7616 bulb to replace the poor bulbs that came in my Yamaha passing lamps. Also if I understand correctly, I see some refere to this bulb as a H3 -- but it is not halogen, right?

Bottom line -- I can't find the H7616 at JP cycles. Anyone got another source suggestion? Many thnx, DREBBIN

There are only two types, the Sealed beam and the other is a H3.

According to a search on Google, those are a GE sealed beam lamp very similar to the stock bulbs. They are 37.5 watt, I think the stock passing lamps are 30 or 35 watt, so not much of a difference.

You might want to try some of these:

I've been considering them. They are 50W each, and are halogens (sealed beam type). These are "narrow spot" type, they have an 8 degree beam spread. They also have a wide spot as well as some very narrow spot (5 degree) beams. If you do try them, let us know how they work out. They sure are priced reasonably.

Hi There

I kept this link from an old posting about passing lamp bulb replacements.

Check these too http://www.jpcycles.com/productgroup.aspx?GID=f50291fb-213e-4385-a2cb-e6db00522737

From another thread also. Most say they use the 70,000 candle power, the 110,000 candle power is new. Don't know if it would drain power.

Hey Drebbin,

If they are the sealed beam you can get 70w and 100w from JP Cycles. I just changed over to the adjure tribar lights and took a good set of 70w sealeds out. If you want them PM me an address. Just pay shipping. If they are the H3 type you can get them anywhere.

Wow, wouldn't a 70 or 100 watt be a drain on the charging system on the RSV? There doesn't seem to be a lot of extra capacity......

These sure look interesting:

Looks like they could be wired as both low and high beam, just like the headlight. Hmmmmm........ what a concept. Passing lamps that have both low and high beams. I may have to check this out further.

I thought it was EITHER....OR. Passing lamps were either HALOGEN or SEALED BEAM?? Your help appreciated, confused DREBBIN

Sorry, My goof. I meant 70,000 Candle or 100,000 Candle. Not Watt.
