If I convert to 12v can I convert all 3 lights on my B or do I need to buy complete new light assembly's?
Thanks

Yes you can. 1156 bulbs in front. You might get by with that in the rear. I have done it to our WD45's and "C", but the "C" doesn't have the factory rear light. I forget the size bulb in the WD45 taillights.

Unit 3 is correct. You're probably better using a 199 bulb which has a heavier filiment for vibration being your B has no suspension. The bullet light bulb in 12V would be a T90 or the little higher CP T97. HTH

Is there just a grommet on the back of the light to put new wiring in? Or is it just a bulb swap???
Being lazy and don't want to run out to the garage.

They are bayonet base bulbs. You just push and twist to remove the bulb. Put the new one in push down and twist till it locks in place.

I changed the bulb in the rear of my B to LED. I was able to find a red one in 6 volt on Superbrightleds.com.

Steve has replacement wires for the lights. Once the bulb is out, you can snip the old wire off in the back and pull it out by the little "bead" on the inside. Slide the new piece in and solder to your wiring.
