yes, they have them in pretty much every bulb type as far as i know of. they had a whole section for them at auto zone. and im sure they can be found in the uk also with a little research. otherwise, ordering them online with a small shipping fee could be an option. like i said, they are a nice pure white with a slight blue tint. i forgot to take some pics, but i will go do that in a few mins, if i can get them to turn out.

no that is not it. there are 2 more levels higher than that through them. theres the silverstars, then the silverstar ultras, and now the silverstar ZXE. but if you cant find the ZXE bulbs, then the silverstar ultras are still great bulb if your just looking for a brighter light.


heres the bulbs right on there site. but youd have to look around for best prices.. http://www.sylvania.com/en-us/produc...rstar-zxe.aspx

No, as in the bottom sidelight for the main beam, i.e. one click of the switch puts the lower light on, the next click puts the main beam that you've replaced on..

Nope, in the UK we have two lights, a lower one inside the headlight unit that you can pull out the bottom of the faring underneath the headlight and also a H4 fitted larger buld for the main beam and headlights... so on the switch for the lights, if you click once to the left you light the sidelight up (i.e. the small lower bulb) and when you click to the 2nd position you light up the main H4 light... must be different than in the states. My light is the same as the one above in that picture... it's the Honda original. Well, I've found some nice H4's from Osram which gives great light output and also, the matching sidelight bulbs so just ordering them :-)

ahh ok. yea, here in the states, we only have 1 bulb. and we dont get the extra on off switches you have in the uk. this is because in the states we are required to have our lights on at all times on the streets, and manufacturers are required to make the bikes this way for in the states so we cant go without headlights.

and yes that does look aftermarket.. that bottom bulb just slides in and out of the housing? it looks almost like its supposed to be a strobe or something..
