Default poor visability (or just poor knowledge)

can anyone offer any advice as to why my 99 sv650s produces such poor light? im sure iv got standard bulbs but comming into these lovely dark wet winter mornings/afternoons/evenings (take your pick) I can barely see a thing. specially when shootin down the m11 after getting up late for work! anyway, is there a cure for this or simply another type of bulb i can put in to improve it.

sorry to babel, please help

I have the same problem, waiting for Busters to ship my bulbs (Philips X-treme Power) which should have been here a week a go!

Easy to remove yes- carefully slide the black plastic things off the back of the bulbs, pull off the rubber ring, unclip the bulb and bob's yer.

You can get a twin pack at busters for £12 at the moment.

Couldn't believe that price, but lo and behold, that's what it says on the site. There again you're still waiting, .................hmmmmm.
If they arrive it's a bargain.

http://www.powerbulbs.com/index.asp are twice the price, but they will arrive the next day. You pays your money and takes your choice.
