a/k/a Stuffy. '99 I/S Valk Roadsmith Trike

My '99 I/S trike conversion has the radiator pod running lights but are the only thing on the bike that's not LED. They not only are rather weak...but kinda appear yellow and don't give much light down the road. I've looked around the industry in the past to no avail but wondering again if anyone has come up with an LED lamp that fits those radiator pods without major mods. I don't mind a doing little fabrication but in the past it would have involved some real working over the mounting/wiring and I've reached the point where I just don't want that. TIA!

John, sorry I don't have a picture of them on the bike, but I bought these off ebay;
https://www.ebay.com/itm/144342050132

They were not hard to install, I had to make two aluminum angles, one of them attached under one of the chrome spear trim bolts, the other I drilled the housing and put a small stainless bolt to hold it. They were about 1/4 inch smaller than the opening, but I was able to get them centered, and they held fine.

I have had these in for a few years, not sure about how much light they put out down the road.
Plug and play, no mods needed, direct replacement for an H3 bulb.
