Headlight type request (main) and confirming there's 2?

[turboslob]

Hi, I usually ride during the day and noticed today that my 'main' headlight is no longer playing. Little bulb good, high-beam good.

Hoping to confirm 2 things:

1. What's the bulb type to replace it with?

2. Are there two bulbs for high and low beam? I thought I read that somewhere.....

Bonus prize if anyone can point me to a guide on how to replace; I've not removed fairings yet and I have a sneaky suspicion......

Thanks, Slob

Hella makes a 100 watt H7, anyone try them? The also make 70

Most of the high output bulbs do not have even close to the same life as the standard bulbs. Since the thread starter said he rides in the daytime I would suggest he get a standard 55W H7 bulb.

Be advised you would be increasing the current load to run these higher wattage bulbs, which could lead to overheating of the wires and other components in the circuit. A 55-watt bulb draws about 3.9 Amps while a 100-watt bulb would draw 7.1 Amps. Just something to think about.

I upgraded to LED Bulbs on NaTalie. They only draw 30 watts of power each and they are much brighter than the halogens they replaced. I prefer the light temperature to be 6000 K and LED was the only way to go to get the temperature I was seeking.
