I dont know about Jap bulbs, but here in Finland ALL NORMAL H4 bulbs are 60/55W and i use ONLY those wattage. Btw, here not for sale such low wattage(35/35W), but surely can be found 100/55, etc.... I think, one very good reason to change twin headlights is that Paso low beam! Its totally useless in dark, and then need better lights(read: twin lights and at least 60/55W bulbs), but WITH SWITCH to dissconnect another light, if dont REALLY NEED, like daytime... Btw, hard to imagine, that 35/35 will give enough light for nightime driving. But surely if those jap light are designed for 35/35 bulbs, its better to use such, cause higher wattage can damage lights.... Anyway i wouldnt shoose such lights.

Well, i just ordered that headlight assembly and it didnt kick out as backordered so my fingers are crossed that i will get it in time to install before bikeweek in late may!!!!!!

now i just have to gather up some wire and a relay.

will post again when i get my confimation e-mail(ordered at work but used home e-mail addy)later tonight.

Thanks for the info about ebay. If the seller is willing to package and freight to NZ at my expense I will likely go with this option.
It is likely left side of road as we are in NZ. I was warned that a US part would dip the other way and I wouldn't pass a warrant of fitness for the bike.

For Elton...
$1377 in NZ dollars is presently $947 US dollars. This is for a new unit.

Thanks for the quick responses guys.

Cheers,

If you want I can "Front the sale" for you in the UK if the seller is not happy to send it on for you.
