Default Re: Quick questions i.e. bulbs, exhaust

These night breakers, they give a better light?

Do you just pop the old bulbs out, and pop the new ones in?
Or is there re-wiring/higher rated fuses etc?

And how do you get the headlight covers off?
What about a nice chavvy black tinted set of headlight covers? :P

At least they wouldn't have an excuse that they didn't see us when they pulled out on us at a junction..

Yes they're exactly the same as any other H4 just better quality to give more useable light output and less heat. No other modifications required, plug and play.

Why do you want to get headlight covers off?

Reach into the back of the headlight, pull the connector off, remove rubber cover, unclip.

On a naked you need to take 2 screws out and pull headlamp shell out forward

Just remember not to touch the "glass" bit with your fingers, hold them carefully by the metal base only.

The oils on your skin get transferred to the quartz "glass", which get very hot indeed and the oils carbonise and etch into the quartz, which then overheats in that area and will crack.

If you accidentally touch them, wash off with methylated spirit and allow to evaporate dry.
