Which headlamp bulbs - Bandit? - SV650.org

13-10-10, 09:46 AM

Just wondering what bulbs people use for their main and dipped beam.
I find my standard ones are a bit crap and very yellow.

Im looking for brighter and whiter replacements any recommendations (i hear the philips ones are good)?

Bike is a Bandit 650SA K6, anyone know what size I need and where to get them?

Thanks in advance

H4 is common but check your manual.

For some reason my manual doesn't specify

Take a bulb out and have a gander then

Daffodils, or if you don't want yellow ones how about tulips.

If however you are referring to lamps then another vote for nightbreakers.

Sorted, ordered some nightbreakers, both dipped and main beam are H7's £13 a pair.
Cheers for advice guys
