I noticed that the OEM headlight projects a yellowish lighting . I wonder if I can replace the bulb with something better ... not to add a transformer or to take out the whole thing , just the bulb with a better one ,with a more bluish white lighting ... there is this one that I found on ebay but I have no idea if it is any good or garbage http://www.ebay.com/itm/Suzuki-Boul...te-/141809053193?_trksid=p2352135.m2548.l4275 I want something that will last and no fried cables or anything melted inside ... a plug and play bulb but better than the OEM . I cut use some suggestions , thanks

There's a brand out now called the ZXE Bulbs. They definitely come in the H4 configuration, and you can find them at any AutoZone, or Advance Auto parts stores. I have them in my Dodge Charger, and I'm going this afternoon to get one for my M109R. They are SUPER BRIGHT WHITE, with a slight bluish hew to them, and they greatly improve your vision while riding/driving at night.

From the other thread, I think this is one of the good options.

Should be a straight plug n play fit.
Both of those look almost identical to the one I have and should work with no modifications. They are just different brands of the same design.

It looks like Xenon Depot upgraded the design of theirs. That is why the one I got is discontinued. The new design looks like it would be a slightly easier install due to the wires exiting out the back of the bulb vs the side like mine does. Either design will work fine tho. Here is the link to the upgraded Phillips H4 LED from Xenon Depot. Price is a little higher than the ones you posted.

Since I am installing the Revo temp gauge set and also flushing and replacing the coolant , I will do it all at the same time , headlight bulb and all and avoid multiple disassembles . I have to take the headlight cover off for routing and accommodating the gauge`s cables anyway , so I`ll do it all in one shot .
It must be something wrong with me ... the bike runs great but I keep adding things , spending more money and complicating my life , all by myself , lol...
