Hi,

I need a replacement headlight for my CB500, I've looked on Dave Silver's site but they only sell a US spec headlights which doesn't have a sidelight hole. I'm not sure if they have the same bulb housing either. The existing headlight is a Stanley001-1217.

Does anyone know where i can get a replacement headlight?

Do you know whether a CB750K7 headlight will fit as these are still available?

Cheers, Andy

Get a car one the same size, they are cheap and work fine.

Cheers

What type of bulb housing do I need?

dave400:
I got a H4 Cibie it had the bulb fitting 3 wires, hi- lo earth and one wire for the pilot also with holder, colours where not the same but it was not rocket science to work out and then connect.

Cheers

Dave

Most 7" units car/bike have the same lug orientation so will usually fit straight in  to these rims just depends if you want to keep it original or not.

The later "Stanley H4" from CB900 has a really good beam pattern as well, used two of them in a car (Triumph TR8) before and they gave brilliant vision.
