Hope this helps.

If your good at DIY purchase a pair of fog lights at your local X-mart for about $15. You only need one so save the other one for another bike or sell it to another nighttime cyclist. The H-3 55-watt halogen bulb draws too much current and this is where your DIY skills will come in handy. Cut a round disk of circuit board 3/4" in diameter and notch as required so it will fit the mounting point in the reflector. Using solid 14-gage house wire solder your choice of bulb socket to the circuit board disk with battery leads so you can hook it up. Use caution to make sure the filament of your bulb is exactly the same distance from the surface of the circuit board disk so the beam pattern will be exactly the same as the H-3 bulb filament (11/16").
