Title: bulbs for fazer 600
Post by: tango on 21 June 2012, 06:58:21 pm
Can anyone suggest any decent bulbs for my fzs600 1999 headlight/s, Recently bought the bike and the headlight is about as bright as a candle, i have heard of wiring mods that can be done, but my electrical side of things is pretty much zilch  :o , cheers, Chris.

evening matey, loads of people convert over to h.i.d kits or `xenon` bulbs. don`t be tempted to go down the 100w bulb route( ebay is full of them), you will enter a whole world of pain. just don`t exceed the wattage rating. good luck !!
