hey guys i have the same bike ...im havin som issues with my headlights burning up anybody can help me out..im new to this website

[mattbujor]

you mean they dont work? If I were you send the bike back asap or sell it while you still can!!!! But yeah the lights burn up fast because there is soo much vibration, simple as that

[DanDaMan]

any auto parts store can sell u a car high/low sealed beam headlight that fits in the housing (its what i did) , you will need to buy and splice in the socket that goes with it


hehe posted this 4-5 times in 4-5 topics in past week :p

the china bulbs are junk I went thru about a dozen be4 just bought car sealed beam , not 1 issue since

[jaydre727]

Hey thanx i been to every parts store in the area..none have the same bulb or socket..wtf i feel retarded tjat i cant figurr this out..ok ..please dan how can i do wat u did. Alittle more in depth please ..now there is theae halogen bulbs i to there now 35 wat...and the lens cover gets so hot u can fry an egg please help

[DanDaMan]

take your headlamp (what your socket plugs into, the plastic headlamp lens) off the bike and into auto parts store with ya , ask for a car sealed beam of that size and the socket to go with it

splice in the new socket , plug up new headlamp , ride till tires fall off

hey dan thanx 1 last thing in the auto parts all i find is 65 /55 watt????..

[jaydre727]

what size watts should i get

[DanDaMan]

pick n choose what u want but I were u I'd stay below 80w just to be safe on the wiring

with me the store I visited only had only carried 1 type of seamed beam that fit and all at the same wattage 55 , works well though seems to be nearly double the visability of the 35w bulbs

[jaydre727]

Cool done deal i git 55wat seems good but the front lens seems to be gettin real hit ..ill c tommorrow wen i get to work ..40 min..ride..di ur lens get real hot to..im scared its gonna melt it..lol

[DanDaMan]

thats the thing , car sealed beams are GLASS , they fit inside the assembly and replace the plastic lens , so they CANT melt
