+1 on eBay, I believe it's a 196 bulb.

Your bulbs are 100W? Be careful it doesn't blow or mess up your electrical unit, cuz 600RRs use 55W, it says so right next to the headlight backing.

+1, 100 watt???? Aftermarket bulbs will melt your harness.

I have riden it a couple of times now and it has not melted anything, and i had these bulbs in my f4i for a long time and it didn't do anything but good. The only thing I may have to do is change to a bigger fuse?

as an automotive tech, I should tel you that is the worst idea ever. It's only a matter of time till you fry the harness.

Sure, change the fuse and overload the circuit.

Or get some REAL HIDs and do it the right way if u want more light on the road.

The bulbs are 194's, and you can get em anywhere. I got mine at Canadian Tire, but I don't think you guys have very many of those in the US. I changed mine out to red, and it looks really sharp with my red LED sliders.

Make sure you get an LED light. They look better, are brighter, and use less power.

Hey Mini Me, where in Canada are you? I live in Toronto
