The standard spotlights on the 1200 GSA use H11 globes. I am looking for the plugg that pluggs into the globe. Is this a standard plugg or do I have to look for a H11 specific plugg? And where do I start to look for such a plugg?? Thx

When Riana suggested to me about three weeks ago that we should go on a bike trip to get back to basics and find sanity again, I immediately jumped to work out the route and book accommodation. This would be her first ever trip on the bike with me, something I have been dreaming of for a very...
