[Spridgets] Blue pilot light - Barjan

[WeslakeMonza1330 at aol.com]

Hi list,
 
At Sprite Rush 98 which was at the Embers Convention Centre (?), Carlisle,  
PA, I crossed the busy main road (on foot) to browse the truck stop shop.   
At least I think that was the shop relevant to this e-mail.  I purchased  
some really neat red and orange pilot lights for my Sprite of the 'Barjan'  
brand.  I still have the packaging (for off road use only - oops to late to  
comply) and see that Barjan is from East Molline, Illionois while the lights 
 themselves are made in Taiwan.
 
The lights are very neat, very small and I always liked them.  A  pending 
possible electronic speedo conversion means I may need a blue pilot  light to 
mount in my dash.  Hopefully not though because I don't want to  put a hole 
in the dash.  UK legislation suggests that my 69 Sprite may not  need a 
blue pilot light to indicate that the headlights are on high beam (rather  than 
dipped) but I want to get a light anyway as a contingency/precautionary  
measure for the annual MOT.
 
Some internet and ebay searching produced just what I was looking for  
although the brand was LED technologies and an Australian owned company but with 
 the light itself still made in Taiwan.  So, I purchased a blue pilot light 
 at about 5 times the cost of my original red or orange unit (that also 
came 2 to  a pack) and found there was a difference.  The difference is that 
the blue  lens is multi-faced like the pilot light in the speedo but my 
original Barjan  pilot lights are round and smooth.  I don't want to purchase a 
pair of new  LED red and orange bulbs to get similar multi-faced finishes if I 
can help it,  but would rather find a smooth blue unit.  So anyone happen 
across any of  the older style Blue (maybe purple?) Barjan pilot lights?  
 
Thanks
 
Daniel
