Tiny chopper headlights

    I picked up these small VW reverse lights to use as twin lights for my chopper, I’ve seen a bunch of guys use them but can’t find any details. 
    I’ll run one as low bean and one angled up for high.. the bike is not likely to see night riding anyway, but.. does anyone know much about them? They take a 32CP globe, similar to an indicator which generally only is 22w.
    It’s a glass lens, metal body and metal interior so higher wattage should be ok.

    (Zippo lighter to give an idea of scale)

    I would have thought LED too.  The housing is too small to handle the heat from a standard high wattage bulb.  Just stack on the highest wattage bulb you can find.  
    The light dispersal will be chit due to the generic lens pattern so your not gonna want to be do too much night riding, but then again if your in the city 99% of the time there are street lights anyway. Cops might love them too as they most like would fail a basic roadside test; but if they work then its a 50/50 call.
