Headlights...

Post by Cue_147 » Tue May 19, 2009 11:35 am

I'm getting the low beam relay done at the gargages on Thursday.

I have bought the adaptor rings from canada to make the headlight sit perfect, but i was what make of headlights people use after this mod?

Phillips? Osram?

Also which make and model sidelights?

Thanks Marcus

All H4 headlight bulbs seem to come with W5W sidelights, will these fit... and are they the correct ones?

w5w is not right, thats the uk spec side light u want the jap one, there alot smaller, just go to halfords and take the one u have int he bike at the moment out and get them to match it.

Its located under the electrical connector for the main bulb just pull th wire and it will pop out

+1. Just fitted T5 286 white LEDs in place of the normal sidelight bulbs and they work perfectly.
