Hey all, I am working on a unique project where I am not only rebuilding an old streethawk, but I am going to convert it to all LED while I am at it. Looking to see if anyone knows where I can get some spare parts for it. Thanks in advance!

The rotator halogen bulbs are standard H1 bulbs, which come in LED. The inboard flashers are a standard halogen 796 bulb which also comes in LED. Then just switch out the flasher relays from the standard mechanical to electronic LED flasher modules. I have all this done and running. Looks awesome. just waiting on more lenses, gaskets, and mirror reflectors to come in so I can finish. (Now you have grandpas secret sauce)!

most LED replacement bulbs like the H1 do not give 360 degree equal light and its much more focused than a halogen light. Your results with swapping the bulbs on the rotators may be unsatisfactory so I suggest testing one first and see. I tried several different LED 3156 bulbs for incandescent directional bar and it just did not fully iluminate the reflector space equally

Looks like those are gonna be pointless on the rotators, cause the only real bright spot is on top.
Out of curiosity, why would you think that the top LED is brighter than the rest of the multiple LED's all around the bulb? Can't see a difference in brightness from my end....video to follow upon completion.
