Headlight upgrade

(1/2) > >>

SteveW:
Just wondered what everyone does to upgrade their headlights?

Took my 1980 650 out yesterday for the first time at night and the light output is terrible.

It’s not a sealed beam so could replace the bulb or replace the entire headlight.

Any recommendations, thanks.

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
The regulations on retro fitting of LED bulbs has changed and is now legal provided the dip beam cut off meets the Mot standard.

My cheap one off e-bay failed before I rode my bike - I bought a replacement from Classic Car LEDs I think it was.

Just had a look on their website, thanks.
Did you have any trouble fitting in in the headlight bucket?

McCabe-Thiele (Ted):
I used the shallower of the two bulbs they listed to be on the safe side iirc.

SteveW:
Thanks, I’ll give it a try.
