What bulbs for the Curvy
 

I am looking at up grading the bulbs in my curvy but dont know what model number they are. I need new headlights, side light and new indicator bulbs (standard indicators.)

Am i right in saying Headlight bulbs are H4, how many do i need 1 or 2.

I dont know what the model number of the side light bulbs are.

I also dont know what indicator bulbs to get as i want silver bulbs that flash orange for my new clear lenses on the front and rear indicators. Can someone tell me what model number they are.

Cheers in advance

Andy

Good Evening.
On a faired curvy you'll need two headlight bulbs, & one on the unfaired model.
They should be H4 bulbs, also known as 472's. I wouldn't put in bulbs with an increased wattage, as apart from being illegal, they would overload the wiring.
Go for standard 60/55 watt bulbs, but the type that have an increased light output, usually marketed as 30% or 50% brighter etc. Most bulbs have infra red & ultra violet screening built in, but do make sure any you purchase have or you could craze the headlight lens or lenses.

Cheers.

I've had Osram Silverstars in the car for a while, and they are a definite improvement over "standard" H4 lamps, about worth the extra cost. Not startling but definitely better.

I've just fitted Phillips Ex-Treme Power lamps ( http://www.powerbulbs.com/ had a 15% discount offer) and they are a step up again. They are fully road legal and still 60/55W (remember std curvy SVS has 45/45W lamps/glow-worms originally).

If you can afford them, definitely recommended. :thumright:
