Hey whats up guys.. i was just wondering im planning to change the high beam bulb of my motorcycle to a blue of purplish color.. But i dont know the type of bulb that i need to buy and im not really in the mood to start taking apart my new bike... ANy one who knows help me out please..[&o]

 

hey what up, i just purchased a left over o6 about a month ago and i couldnt wait to get her apart. i just posted pics of my new headlight bulbs in this section under larrys fe kit and cosmos bulbs. check em out i bought them from a guy on these forums they are mtec cosmos bulbs. you get both bulbs and the parking light bulb in blue to match. for $40 shipped..http://www.600rr.net/vb/showthread.php?t=11555

here is the link to the forum....

 

it is a h7 bulb both high and low beams

 

So both bulbs are H7 bulbs... SO i should just change the high beam one with a purplish one..??

 

That looks really nice..i have to see what im gunna do yet..Was it easy to install..?

 

yes they are both h7 bulbs the only thing different between them are the angle of the reflectors, one goes far and wide and the other is low.. it is a 5 minute intall if you take your time. lol..you pull the connector off, pull the dust cover off. unclip the light, pull it out, put the new one in, clip it pop the dust over on and make sure there is a good seal around the connector of the bulb. then plug it back in..now the bulbs i bought have a blue hint to them but they are very clear and brite..

 

oh and $40 shipped you cant beat that price.. if you buy silverstar bulbs your looking at about $25 per bulb and then another $10 or so for the blue marker lite (if you can find one) at a local store..

 

Do you know if they run hotter or cooler than the stock bulb?

 

If you are going to change out your bulbs, remember that tinted bulbs (blue/purple) actually put out less light than regular bulbs. So you have the color, but now, you have a dimmer light on the road. And remember the most important thing......DO NOT BUY HIGH WATTAGE BULBS. Stick with 55w bulbs. Anything higher and you'll melt your "Linebeam" reflector and possibly melt your harness. (Seen this done from a dude that works at the dealer).

If you want this kind of headlight color...........



........then you are going to have to go with an HID kit. I HIGHLY recommend upgrading your headlights to HID. They are much MUCH brighter than stock, and other drivers seem to notice you more.

I did a write up my HID installation. They're really not that hard to install, just time consuming.
