    I actually have no idea what sorta bulb they use..im guessing its like a car..so it used either H4, H3 or H1....

    Best place to get them...u can prob pick them up from a hardware store..but ull find they are prob more expensive than somewhere like autobarn..coz they dont get that many in. You can even ones that show a whiter light with a blue tinge.. Phillips Blue Vison are pretty good.

    ive actually already tried a normal car H4 and it doesnt work....the one that i took off the bike has like a metal bracket on it so it fits nicely into the headlight housing.... ill give the bike shop a call during the week

    cheers

    no, its actually an H4 bulb... it says on the headlamp housing.... and its the same size as the other car H4's i have... but the one i took off the bike had a metal cup on it that made it sit in the housing nicely... whereas the normal car H4's dont fit because they have metal 3 tabs sticking out of them... sounds a bit confusing but if you look at a car H4, youll know what im on about....

    im sure the bike shops will stock them anyway....

    I have no clue - but when I needed a replacement bulb I took one out, headed to an autoparts store, and said "I need one of these". They replaced it without problems.
