My RS125 (2000) is terrible with lighting!

Any upgrades I can do? I only ever seem to have the right light on (if you are looking at it from the front)

Help please Laughing

Eh? Right light from the front pretty sure on mine that is full beam, so your main appears to not be working.

Does it work on the switch between high and low? Maybe worth popping the right hand bulb out as you are sat on it and see if it works.

You could try putting a HID kit on, not sure if it would work on an RS125 as the lights seem to be aimed anywhere but useful so they would just be brighter but still not point anywhere that helps with seeing where you are going Mr. Green Laughing

Not sure of the connection, but I bought some of these bulbs, they made a huge improvement and pretty impressed with them... Maybe just get some of the similar bulbs with your fitment and see how they help before setting down the HID route.

It seems like I have no left bulb...high beam just makes the right bulb a shed load brighter..

I'll have a proper look tomorrow morning before work Thumbs Up

I just got some Philips extreme bulbs for my dads car. He always moaned about how shit his lights were. I have to say I never realised how bad they were until I drove mine after being in his!

After doing the upgrade they are as close to my mums true XENON'S you ever going to get. The difference was amazing! Well worth the money if you ask me. Just so much brighter. Even in town with the street lights the beam was still clearly visible.

Might be worth trying them for a few quid. What fitments do you have? And what's the configuration? Like both dipped, and both full?
