Looks like one of your headlight bulbs has blown, you've only got one working on dip.

Oh sorry, you mean there is a Mk1 Fazer owner that hasn't done the headlight mod?

But it's only a 10 minute job!  Far less time than it took you to fit the LED lights I bet......

'ello 'ello 'ello, is you displayin' blue lights on that there bicycle me fella me lad? Lets be 'avin ya!


I'm trying to remember what else the gentleman said to me when I replaced my sidelights with what the ebay seller claimed were xenon but were blue- something about endangering his life because cars might ignore his blues thinking he's just that ginger twat.  Look nice mind

for some reason the camera picked them out with more blue than they actually are.
they have a slight blue tint to them but no more than some of the blueish headlights frequently seen.
will have to get the dual headlight mod sorted soon  :rolleyes

couple of extra photo's as promised.
the 2 led strips were £4.73 from fleabay with free postage !
double checked tonight and the camera makes the led's look way bluer than they really are.
think the blueish tint you get on some of these headlights and its like that.
