From: Bob Taylor Before you go running to put out big bucks for a bulb from PIAA, try the bulbs that are in the newer Mercedes. Same thing for about $12.

It works fine in a stock socket and puts out the equivalent of 110/100 watts of light. They are available at Overlanders 1-800-288-4068. Ask for Ken. The bulb you want is a H4 Piaa Super White. Cost is a bout $35.00 each. Piaa makes several wattage's in this type of bulb, but I think it would be a mistake to go to a higher than stock wattage with standard wiring and switches. Sincerely, Alan Tooraen ------------- Subject: RE: HID for motorcycles? I agree....$400 is high, but with competition prices will fall. Be careful not to touch the bulb before installing it. If you remove the center console (glovebox), then the left side black filler panel (under the left handle bar), the installation is quite easy. Kevin Hawkins // Greensboro, NC ------------- << 3. And speaking of headlight modulators, is there an easier way to change the headlight bulb than what is mentioned in both the Owner's Manual and the service manual? >> You can get in from behind the handle bars. Remove the plastic in that area, and you can get your hand in from the back. I've done it twice. A piece of cake. Remove the boot covering the stem of the bulb and you can then see what has to be done. Pull the electrical connection out exposing the cradle that holds the bulb in place. Swing that out and the bulb is then easily removed.

I can get to my bulb and replace it simply by removing the radiator access panel on the right side of the bike. It definitely helps if you use a shop light to illuminate the bulb area while you watch what you're doing by peering down over the top of your bike. Hugh
