Hi,

I intend to upgrade my headlight bulbs soon, but im not sure of the type and size i need. I understand the wattage, but what's all this 'H3, H4 and H7' stuff about?

I ride a Bandit 400, but i bought it with aftermarket twin lights, so i cant check the manual on them.

Ive searched the forums to no avail.

Sorry....one is a numpty....

Even with a standard light you could get the wrong bulb so the best thing
to do is take the bulb out when you are the bike shop and show it to them

These are the 'Bulbs' Lamps I've been using for two years.

I was looking to fit spots etc. But thried these and found they were more than bright enough.

Tons of light to see forward at normal 'night time' driving speeds.

My machine has twin head lamp which helps.

I was looking for this page....

EDIT:

Wanker.....
I meant these My connection is slow. (among other things.)
