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 |
Re: What bulbs for the Curvy
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. |
Re: What bulbs for the Curvy
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: |
