Re: Unity Spotlight Repairs

Thanks to oldblue1968chevy and Unity, we now have a direct and less expensive source for bulb retaining clips. These frequently rust through and break allowing the bulb to flop around inside the rim/housing. Early Unity spotlights retained the bulb with a carbon steel circular ring, which also tended to rust away to complete deterioration. The replacement springs work in either application.

Through Unity, the clips are only $3.33 for a set of 4, but the shipping is $15.00. Here’s a photo of the springs, and link to the Unity offering:

Napa Auto Parts carries a compatible replacement part.

Napa carries Balkamp part number BK 7309520. This is also a set of 4 springs. $6.09 at the Napa store with local pickup.



Thanks again to oldblue1968chevy for the tip and confirming the Napa springs fit perfectly!
