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
The Silverstar bulb is good and bright. It's not going to be a lot whiter, just brighter. The LED bulbs have gotten a lot better. They are even brighter and whiter. They pretty much plug right in.
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.
I went with LED headlight. It is very bright and a super crisp white light. The bulbs I got are a direct replacement for the stock bulb and require no modification. Here is a link to where I had posted about them. If you scroll down a bit, you will find the pictures I posted of it.
How about these? I wonder if they are a plug n play in the 9? And if they are the brightest and excellent quality? The price for a pair is $40.00 odd while others with low Lumen are priced 1 for $65.00
I understand . I think that I will go with yours , but the ones you have are discontinued . I found these H4 on Amazon at 3200lm each and 50,000 hours life. I don`t like the idea of modifying the boot and this small fan doesn`t sound like a long lasting thing .
Do you think these will do ? thanks https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EXX17H4?psc=1
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...
It is an addiction! Welcome to the club!!! :bigthumbsup:
