I was wondering if other folks who have dynamo driven headlight and taillights could tell me where I should look to get bulbs for mine. AFAIK, my Schwinn's head and tail lights should work, but I think the bulbs are burnt out. The dynamo produces a charge just fine and all the wiring to the lights seems to be in great shape, but nothing happens when I flip the dynamo over to engage with the wheel.

Also, the lens for the tail light was broken some years before I got the bike. I guess I will have to look for a replacement light or lens, though for the meantime I have taped some clear red plastic over it, like you do if your car gets rear-ended and the taillights are broken.

Does anyone have a roundabout figure for how much a new/used tail-light would cost?


Dynamo and tail-light.


Headlight. How streamlined!
