Headlight bulbs
« on: October 07, 2018, 08:25:05 »
The headlight bulb on my DL1000 blew yesterday. It is a H7 bulb and I was wondering if  it is okay to replace it with a Philips Extreme Vision car headlight bulb?

So long as it's a H7 it'll fit.  :thumb:
I've got Osram Night Breakers in my DL650, there's 2 in that but H4's.

Mine also blew a few weeks ago, just got an H7 from local carparts shop. You have to remove the clocks, instruments to fit the new bulb.

I fitted these in both the car and bike and have been very pleased with the results. They're also getting very good reviews in some of the mags. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MEGALIGHT-H7-130-MORE-LIGHT-H7-GE-MEGA-LIGHT-58520XNU-PAIR-H7-BULBS/273486032363?epid=27017014340&hash=item3fad09adeb:g:0q4AAOSwbF1br1-o

Bought LED replacements for my Glee on Amazon. Much better light and more defined beam. Done 13000 miles with them across America with no issues.
