pignapper Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Hi guys, as some may know im rebuilding an sr125 1997. I was looking to upgrade the headlight bulb but all documentation says that its a 3 prong H4 bulb. Mine isnt. Its a push fit, (like an old torch bulb) 12v/35w. does anybody know the correct description of this bulb do I can investigate upgrading. thanks pignapper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndrewElvisFan Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Not sure of the correct description, but I use Halfords bulb 7028. This is a 35/45w bulb. The correct bulb should be a 35/35w. Other than changing the fittings to suit a H4 I cannot find an alternate upgrade. Bear in mind that if you do change to halogen though you will also have to change your lens to pass an mot. I have also spliced in a couple of 3w 'angel eye' led's which increase kerbside vision and overall visibility (allegedly) to other road users.

pignapper Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 Just a thought, can I rig a car headlight to fit or will it burn out the wiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewElvisFan Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 In theory you could, but I'm not sure if the alternator would be able to keep the battery charged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator Cynic Posted January 31, 2015 Moderator Share Posted January 31, 2015 Anything over 45w will prob kill the lighting system. Substituting led's for any other lighting on the bike will save maybe 10w. So 55 maybe 60w is doable at the top limit with a healthy battery and all LED. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
