im trying to replaces a headlight because i dont like the ugly yellow bulb so im replacing it with a ultra violent white bulb. but i cant figure out how to get to the bulb. i havent really sat down and try to get to it but i figure i would ask some of yall before i take to much stuff apart.

 

It's very simple. You just need to take off the upper fairing to gain access to bulb.

 

thanks man, i knew it had to be something simple like that

 

(If it's too "violent" the cops may pull you over...)

 

I have a blue bulb and I love it

 

well its like the headlights that the new cars have like BMW and Lexus those kinda lights

 

when youget to the back of the headlight housing, theres gunna be a small clip that kinda rotates down and locks in place. this is what'll hold the bulb in place.. gotta make sure of 2 things..

1. that the lil tabs on the bulb line up and firt in the slots in the holder, and

2. that theat lil spring-type holder has a tight fit. this is also the ground for the bulb, and if its loose, it will arc and get hot, causing headlight trouble, short bulb life, and pitting of the contact surface, which THEN gives you abnormal resistance and drawing more power.. its all downhill from there.. lol

 

just to let you know unless you bought actual HID kit and not just a replacement bulb, it wont come out as you expect. (dimmer and less color) sorry man, hope all goes good

 

do they make special kits for bikes or are they all the same, if not we can i find one

 

unfortunately with your headlight, the lense diffuses the HIDlight too much to be useful...

theres HID kits out there, but from what i've seen thus far, i'm not impressed with them. they flicker and are generally crap...

the ballast takes a good amount of power to run, being the theres a few transformations in the voltage potential and type in the ballast along its way to the bulb...

often times, the power needed, and the power generated are way out, and the ballast can neither establish or maintain the arc.
