Title: Headlight mods?
Post by: Hazey-n-Marc on December 27, 2011, 09:01:58 PM

Hello.
Any recommended headlight mods? Full beam is fine, main beam isn't. Had a look at some streetfighter bike set ups, but not sure about subverting an otherwise pure bis, or the aiming of bike lights.

Cheers

Marc

Do you use H4 Bulb 60/55W halogen bulbs? When I bought my Bis it had the standard headlamp Bulb P45/40W. The halogen bulbs are a vast improvement.

Think they are the bulbs it came from the factory with, will hassle my local Dave (parts bloke) for those others. Are they a straight fit?

I do not know whether all 126 Bis came with standard H4 halogen bulbs. Mine came with the P45/40W. The car certainly has the relevant relays to accomodate these bulbs. I bought my H4 Bulb 60/55W halogen bulbs from Halfords. Do a visual check before buying, just to make sure.
