I got a friend who has a 60's Vespa and is looking for a 6 volt sealed beam headlight bulb for it. I guess all he can find available is some crappy plastic repo complete headlight assembly.

If they're the same size as VW, I've got plenty of 6V sealed beam headlights. But that probably would be a pretty big headlight for a Vespa!

Talk to Chuck, bet he could find a PAR lamp that fits.

Not sure exactly what model he has or what he needs, but has he checked out these shops?

Been slowly finishing this thing up and working out the kinks. I took out the zbed in the bus to be able to transport the vespa. It just fits!

Good thing you have a Bay Westy. You can carry the scooter and still sleep up top 8-)
