Hey all,

Basically I'm going to be taking my bike over to Germany (posted with the Army) and I need a set of European headlights to get through the process over there. Does anyone know of a place/web site to get them?

I know it's a small chance but thought I would ask on here anyway as I can't find them anywhere.

The bike is a 2000 ZX6R J1.

Cheers.
Thumbs Up

A lot of bikes now have headlights that do not shine to one side. So you do not need to replace.
Best way to check is to pull upto a wall and see how the pattern shows.
If its pulls to the left then you will need to replace, if its straight on then you are OK.

I guess manufactures found that it saves on costs.

Have you tried on all the euro ebay sites?

Similarly, worth keep an eye on US ebay - though obviously postage is going to be a bit.

Otherwise, wouldn't be surprised if z-power could order you a set, but that's probably going to be pretty expensive.

How about doing a worldwide search in ebay for the headlights and just check that its a right hand drive country before you bid?

Just looked and there aren't any.

Any owner groups on the 'net based in the US or Europe?
