Headlamp type

Post by OriginalRocket »

Headlamps, what is the bulb designation. All I can find is that it is a 25/25 watt bulb. I'm wanting to see what upgrades I can do but need to now what type of bulb it is.

...unless you are in Thailand, where the bulb is non-halogen.
I have learned from my mistakes, and I am sure I can repeat them exactly.

I've been wondering too. I'm getting the impression it is not a standardized bulb/connector.

That is quite disappointing. Anyone know of an easy retrofit, or adapter to use standardized bulbs?

I don't think an adapter would fit. If you took the assembly out, you might be able to retrofit other bulbs on, but that would likely prove difficult. :(

It is a standard bulb, widely available.

Not in the USA. I can't find anything! Except OEM replacement. And only through the dealer special order.
