Got an electrical gremlin in a DT175. when braking the headlight dims, when indicating the headlight flashes. indicators dont work at idol and dont work unless the bike is running. I thought it was a bad earth so I have cleaned all the earths and checked all the conections. Anyone got any ideas as to what i should try next?

Hi everyone, i have a ybr125 and quite frankly the headlight is Sh!t, i have upgraded the bulb to a 40/45W halogen whitch made a dramatic differance from the standarrd bulb however for night time B roads its still a little scary. now im not an idiot trying to street fighter a 125 or anything, however.... i have seen the dominator headlights and standard they take 60/65W bulbs added to that obviously there are two of them next to each other.... i also have a 55w bulb but that is blue... so quite hard to make out what different objects are at night when everything is blue, and i cant seem to find any brighter bulbs to fit the standard headlight... so im wanting to know do any of you have any experiance with the dominators? or know of a much brighter buld to fit my standard headlight? hear's a link to the dominators that i am looking at... http://www.demon-twe...nator-headlight i know it would probably look rediculouse on a YBR, however it is purely for practicality as i use it as a work-horse commuter. any feedback on this would be muchly appreciated, thanks Tris

Well guys....i have a new problem with my rebuild...i need to change the headlight bulb and cant figure out how to get it out. I had to take the glass lens out to get to the bulb and when I tried to pull it out...just the glass came out....the bulb body stayed in there. I doesnt seem to unscrew or anything. I mangled the bulb body trying to get it out and it wont come out. Do I have to replace the whole assembly where the bulb goes in or is it just the bulb that I can replace. If anyone has had to replace the bulb on their rt1 please let me know how to do it....Thanks!!!!!
