Headlight bulb blown

Hi Guys,

Well that was fun riding home in the dark tonight!!

Headlight bulb has blown and I was wondering two things:

Can you get at it without taking off the front headlight shroud first?

Can you use a brighter bulb at all, or one of those bluey looking ones? Do they help?

Cheers.....

no and no.

standard coil puts out about 60w I think and has to cope with the other crap too.

i think you can max out at 35 watts,,Howerver .Im shure if you lessen the wattage of all your other lamps ,ie,break/back/indicators.clock lamps , you could use the gained wattage to upp your headlight..

saw a page somewhere that had uprated lighting coils...
