I have a Cobra light bar on my Standard. You can fit any lights on it. I removed the Cobra lights a few years ago and replaced them with some "no name" chrome lights only because they were using replacement bulbs. At first I've installed halogen bulbs, then replaced the halogen bulbs with HID bulbs.
Now I have very bright lights that gives me way better visibility at night and excellent visibility during the day. I am using the existing wiring and switch.

If you want a replacement, they are a PAR 36 bulb. This bulb comes in many configurations. Spots, floods, halogen etc. Look on Amazon. Standard wattage is 30 but I replaced mine with 36 watt halogen floods.

Mr. Shlitz, where did you get your PAR 36 HID lights at?

Thanks for the feedback.  Chrisj I like the look of your HIDs,  did you have to change any wiring to handle those bulbs?

Same light replacement Chris was showing just less expensive. Those H3 bulbs are available at automotive shops. I mounted mine on the crash bars, they are effective.

nope, plug n play.  It is a hassle though getting the Cobra bars wired up

Jmann,

Mine are "no name" chrome driving lights with H3 bulbs. I just replaced the halogen bulbs with H3 HID bulbs. This is it.
