dino999 Posted March 22, 2009 #1 Posted March 22, 2009 Is there an alternate headlight of the automotive variety that fits my second gen RSTD and does'nt cost $70?
CMIKE Posted March 22, 2009 #2 Posted March 22, 2009 If you are talking about a replacement bulb for the RSV... $70?? I can say I do not know of a $70 bulb. Yamaha has them on the website for $9.31 Any H4 bulb will fit, but I would recommend staying with the same wattage to keep from overloading your charging system. 60/55 H4 Halogen Some Stealers will knock you in the head for a replacement bulb for the bike when a H4 is a pretty common thing. Sylvania Silverstar cost about $19 WALMART...Pretty good improvement over the stock bulb...Silverstar Ulta...AutoZone...even better replacement about $25. I replaced mine with an Ultra and it was a great improvement...lot more light to the sides of the road. I removed the stock bulb just looking for more light out front. PIAA or what ever make some that I think is not DOT approved but is probably the brightest around. They are about $50
Eck Posted March 22, 2009 #3 Posted March 22, 2009 If I read your posting correctly, your looking for a replacement headlight lens, not a replacement bulb. If so this is where I purchased mine. Coolbulbs.com 12705 South Van Ness Ave. Hawthorne, CA 90250 To contact them by e-mail, for technical and sales inquiries: sales@coolbulbs.com This is what I did for a glass lens replacement, in place of purchasing Yamaha's expensive assembly. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=498
dino999 Posted March 22, 2009 Author #4 Posted March 22, 2009 thanks for the help! I was looking at the lamp assy for $65-70, thought it was incancescent. Went with the Sylvania Ultra and what a difference!
