Why is it that when I search for headlight bulbs for my bike (GN250) all it throws up are H4 bulbs... My bulb seems to be one of the BA20D fitment or something (From the outside it looks like that)
It's a 1990 model. Even wemoto is showing H4 bulbs for my model and year... All I'm after is a damn uprated bulb, But I dont wanna dismantle my headlamp incase I break something haha! Anyone know what bulb I'm after?

These are H4's claiming 50 to 80% more.

Do you know the wattage of the bulb that your bike uses? I've had very good success with Halfords 35/35w BA20D halogen dual filament bulbs. I think they sell them in other wattages as well, but you might want to match like-for-like so you don't overload the electrics. They last ages and are much brighter than the OEM 'globe' shape bulbs.

Seriously though, it can't be that hard to take your headlamp shell apart to have a look, just to be sure? Just don't handle the bulb with your bare hands, use a cloth.

First off, did you read the post in anyway at all? Do you remember why people were moaning about your posts?
Secondly, you have yet to respond to my previous question about multiple accounts. Should I take it that this is your chosen one and you won't be using others?
