i just got my sv650 streetfighter yesterday - my first big bike after passing test.
The standard bulbs in the streetfighter headlights are pretty **** and i have replacement H4 xenons, but not sure how to remove the casing for the streetfighter headlight to replace them. Anyone have any suggestions? Thankss |

I have enclosed the attachments to what my headlights look like. i think they're dominator headlights. i can see the screws at the bottom, but there's only one screw for each light and i dont wanna take it apart incase some springs pop out...

Same lights as I have on my Ninja streetfighter,
I've just ordered some Phillips X-treme bulbs from busters, you should give them a look... ![]() |

They're quite easy really, same as the ones I had before dropping it (oops) just yours are in a very ... er ... red colour
![]() Remove the screw at the bottom, pop the lens, surround and reflector assembly out as a lump, remove the plug on the back of the light and the rubber shield thing, undo the clip, remove bulb, put bulb in, clip back down etc. To get the reflectors etc. back into the shell then theres a lip at the top of the shell, you need to locate the surround over the lip the press the bottom in so you can get the screw back in. Last step is to swear at it for 10 minutes while you get the hang of lining the screw up ![]() Whereabout be you?

Thanks for the help, i got my new bulbs installed today and they are a lot brighter and have a longer range, makes riding at night a lot safer.
All i need now is a pair of plasma white LED sidelights. I'm from kilmarnock, just got my sv on saturday. passed my test in september. restricted to 33bhp for 2 years though. cant wait till summer... |
