Thanks Skoti, that looks the best and easiest option.  Mine must be missing a retaining clip or something for there to be an oil seal used to hold the P45T bulb in.

One last question, did you use a 4300k bulb? 6000k might be a bit blue?

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

The shop manual doesnt show a seal between the collar and bearing/bearing and sprocket.

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

Might be worth a PM to Laverda Dave he did a 400 gearbox rebuild earlier this year.

If you mean the part of the shaft where the oil seal sits I'm pretty sure the bearing will come off - just dont heat it and destroy the O ring.

Ill have to dig my vice out from the garage. I didn't think of clamping the bearing. I didn't want to damage it too much but I think that's the only way.

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.
