Hi Freebz

Headlights (all lights) need to be E marked to comply with Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations.

A couple of links to headlights;

I think Acerbis DHH twin isn't legal, but they do a single light that is. Their Cyclops twin is legal but a bit pricey. There is also a Polisport headlight

The main problem that I can see is that most of the bulbs are only 35W, so will be pretty crap at night doing more than about 30mph.

My AR came without a headlight (or any wiring to headlight/speedo/switches etc) so I got a CRM Mk2 headlight off fleabay (which I think is only a 25W bulb).

If you come across any 55/60W H4 halogen headlights, please let me know!!!!

Cheers
