Headlight Bulb

Hey there folks,

Ok, looks like my headlight bulb blew but I've never seen this style before and all the bulb has on it is the rating 12v35/35. Can anyone give me the style number so I can search for a new one please. Seems everything posted on here takes a H4 style bulb.




Thanks

Funny globe that, def not the OEM-one. But 35W it is though, indeed not a common globe. Try to fashion something else in there, with same wattage? A 55W's too big, and the lens is said to melt.

Ok - it not just me

I know that the bike was imported into Uganda from Dubai still new in the crate but I haven't been able to work out yet what 'market' the bike was made for. That may help me find this style of bulb.

That buld is not standard fitment and I am sure the bulb holder isn't as the locating pins should be off-set so when the stock bulb with high and low beam is fitted it will only go in 1 way....saying that if you have the US version with the plastic lens then that would only have 1 bulb terminal as they only come with dipped beam and plastic lens.....post a picture of your headlight

So it looks like I have a non UK or US market bike that has a different style bulb holder. Does anyone know how I can find out what market my bike was designed for (from the frame number maybe?) because then I could search for a bulb from that country. From the looks of the headlight setup it does look factory - the headlight parts are all 'stanley' which I have seen mentioned elsewhere as being factory parts. The headlight lens is glass so I would want to get a 55W bulb for it.

Thanks for your help guys,

Hi Skidmark can you not post a picture of the headlight rear ?, I didn't think they made any other type of headlight other than US & European.....should look like this for European market....


Saying that just found a XR400 surround which looks like this....

Oz had their own version too I think.
But, stator-wise there's two only - measly & bigger.
Get a H4 bulb, a 55W, and connect it temporarily. Start the bike and see what it does - fully On with a bit of revs?
If so you've got the bigger stator, so then I'd adapt my headlight to accept a globe you can get hold of. Look, you're not going to want a perfectly asymetrical headlight beam are you? If so, get a proper unit, as any 'std' thing produces "light" only.

before i changed the 35watt to a 55watt bulp but they always fail (normal light) after a year so i use these cheap ebay xenon bulp now for a year and still works great with alot more light then a 55watt and yes i have the glass type headlight.

maybe some of yall wanna try? you can not loose on this trust me

Thank you Rico, that is exactly what I was after, so it's a BA20D style...when I showed it to our vehicle mechanic here he thinks he can even find it here.
Cheers guys

just for educational purposes you can search for BA20D on this page and see it is a bonafide automotive bulb

well not 100% sure how you know which way to put the bulb in ?, you say it has high and low beam normally the pins on the side are off-set so it can only go into the holder 1 way...making the high beam point the right way....anyway good luck with your search

the tabs on the sides are different widths...

i had nothing else to do then place the bulp like a oem bulp, all works great, normal beam and high beam

and i always ride with my lights on so the sleepy car drivers see me better i hope

What wattage Xenon light are you using that is brighter than a 55W Halogen?
Will this fit in the Euro spec headlight?
