Hi I've got a 1996 Suzuki GS500E and it currently has a absolutely dogger front cowl on it, which was originally part of an aftermarket full fairing but is now broken, bent and skanky. So I'm planning on fitting the original front light to it, I'm wondering if anybody has any experince of doing something like this and peoples opinions on these parts for it.

Will these do or will I need something else. Also is it difficult? All I can see it being is taking the old stuff off and bolting in/plugging in the new stuff. Cheers.

As you said - dead straight forward if you have a bare-essentials toolkit to hand.

Side point - those xenon bulbs you can get a damn sight cheaper, i actually found when looking to get a few replacements in the drawer if i searched for car bulbs [same wattage and bulb size of course] it got a lot more cheaper results.

Just make sure is a UK seller as a load of china sellers come up which will mean you're waiting a month for the f-cking post to arrive Laughing
