Title: Cb550k3 Headlights
Post by: davidrsmith on September 13, 2017, 10:22:40 PM

Hi
I bought my 550k3 as a US import, I am now at the point where I want to get it mot tested, then I had a thought. Do I need to change the headlight, will the original US headlight throw the dipped beam to the right hand side of the road, or does it just shine straight ahead?
I did try turning the lights on against my garage door, its hard to tell but the beam pattern does seem to be straight ahead.

Also does anyone now the name/shade of black for 550k3, as I plan to get my tank resprayed?

Many thanks
Dave

The paint colour should be Excel Black and yes your head light is ok for a MOT.
