Headlight reflector

(1/9) > >>

DomP:
Is a CB550 and 750 reflector the same? Mine on my 550 is a Stanley 001-1217 but a previous owner has fitted a strange bulb that has meant they've used an oil seal to hold it in place.  Can I retro fit an H4 Led to it?

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
My 500 headlamp is  a standard UK style 7" unit.
It has the three lugs similar to those on the old sealed beam headlights.

I fitted a Land Rover Defender 90 type LED headlamp unit but pretty much any old style 7" headlamp will fit.

DomP:
I was more wondering I could retain this reflector but retro fit an H4 led Ted

Johnwebley:
I don't know the answer,

But I have a H4 bulb,in a non standard reflector,

Fitting Cebie or similar used to be an upgrade

This is the LED that I fitted to the original reflector on my F1 which is a direct replacement for the original bulb that you have (P45T).

While you're at it I recommend updating the side light bulb as well (BA9S).
It's very bright and would almost suffice as a day running light.

Hope this helps
