Headlight bulb question!!

Post by spadey99 » Mon Nov 22, 2010 11:09 am

Hi there

I want brighter bulbs in the bike but heard that nc30s that are imported run lower wattage that cost a lot more, can you use normal h4 bulbs or will it burn the wiring loom?

Also when I rang for the insurance and said to the guy it was an import he said it isnt showing as an import so does it mean its a uk bike?

Any good place to get xenon effect bulbs for it?

Steve

if it's a UK bike then you should have the 60/55 bulbs already

if not, you need to fit a low beam relay: http://www.vsource.org/VFR-RVF_files/NC ... mRelay.htm and snip the headlight lower lugs and use either a nail/pin or adapter rings (can get them from ebay).

does it have an oil cooler in the front fairing? got a pic of the bike?

Once you get the low beam relay sorted (if needed) i'd recommend Phillips Extreeme bulbs... really good

+1 for these beauties.

Also, where abouts are you? If you have any trouble fitting the relay I'd be only too glad to help if you're anywhere near Blackburn.
