Fit a HID kit, which will only pull 35w but put a MUCH brighter beam out anyways! Job done...

Was that a reply to my post "neo"

The bulb i bought was a H4 but supposed to give off a whiter light (was £2 from my local car supplies place as i get discount and it was a less desirable make bulb)

Dave.
Did not know about the low beam relay on th RVF!
Does this mean I can simply swap the standard 60/35 bulb for any H4 60/55?
Also, does having only headlight mean it'll be drawing less current too? :?
