Replacement lights for Pods

Hi, I have a 2001 interstate with the factory pod lights. Neither of them work now and I was wondering if anyone had replaced their lights, where did you get them? and make, model or part numbers would be appreciated.
Thank you

I'm pretty sure Stanley Steamer told me a particular bulb for
overhead projectors was what he uses... I don't know if it is
a coincidence that they use the same bulb or if it just fits
and seems to work... And I think it has something to do
with "Valkyrie bulb = $" and "projector bulb = not so much"...

I'm not sure of your question. They are the basic H3 bulbs. You can get them anywhere, Walmart, Autozone, etc. RainMaker hooked me up with some replacement LED bulbs that work good. I would have to search back for the number, I think they were Phillips. Don't go for the cheap Chinese LED's, they suck and don't last.

Use your volt meter first and confirm there is power going to the lights.

yes, there is a fuse, a relay, and a switch involved.

The IS that I purchased a month ago had the same issue. The relay was wet inside. A replacement is expensive. I wired in a standard relay

I replaced mine with these LED's from Amazon. Just plug them in. Read about them on a post here. Nice crisp bright white light.

I think those are the ones RainMaker recommended.
