....last night on the way home to Chicago from a friends house all the way out on Hoffman Estates....I came out to the 77gs550 and my headlight bulb was burnt out.....:x ...... Actually, it was totally smashed on the inside.....did it pop or did I hit a pothole too hard? The bulb had shattered inside and was flopping around.
It was night time outside and the friggin' suburbs don't have proper street lamps (me city boy). It was also late and nowhere to go and get a bulb so I had to ride home in the dark......what an experience that was. I remember reading all of the posts about keeping a spare.......I know......I found a big truck on the freeway and stayed behind him. People were actually kind enough to tell me my light was out 8O
...and I had to explain that I knew........many times......... :x .
I was going to get the H4 upgrade from Dennis Kirk/Jc Whitney so I could simply carry around extra bulbs, much smaller than a spare sealed unit but I couldn't wait 3-4 days and no locals have it I checked with.
This sealed unit does not say its for a car or a motorcycle....I just put it in (still daylight) for a night ride home from work just now. It was the only sealed unit that matched mine at Auto Zone (my old one was dull as hell). Its a Sylvania Halogen Xtra Vision 12 volt 65/55. Guess I'll see how good it is in about 2 hours or so. Anybody else got one of these on their bikes and will it last?
