Headlight bulb replacement
 

I am a new rider since Sept 2015 and own a 2011 VN900 Classic SE. I want to upgrade my headlight to a brighter bulb without having to beef up wiring harness for possible heat damage. Stock lamp is terrible on night rides.


Any suggestions?
I am looking at the HELLA H4 100/80w.


Thanks,

I highly recommend you don't go to I higher wattage bulb with stock wiring and housing. You will melt something.

How about led headlight bulb or auxiliary lights.

Do you know that this is the KLX250S part of the forum? This is a small dual sport/dirt bike, not a cruiser.

You probably want to be somewhere over here.

I run a Cyclops led conversion with the high low beam option. Works great! Not sure if they still honor the advrider coupon but it saved me 5-10 bucks which was cool. It's totally plug and play so if you don't like it nothing gets screwed up if you go back to stock.

Hey a VN900 is a pretty cool looking bike..

Replace your VN's headlight assembly with a KLX250S headlight assembly and report back with pictures - yeah we'll all be ROFLOL, but we'll have some ideas for you..

I have this exact LED bulb(s) in my Yamaha FZ1 and just installed one in my 2018 KLX.

Very, very happy with them! I wasn't able to re-use the rubber boot at the rear of the bulb, but it's waterproof so if any water did find it's way there, no biggie. After you install any new bulb - re-check the headlight aim. A good spot is inside your garage with the lights off. There is a spec in the user manual to where the light should be aimed.
