jct842 - I do agree with your statement. Less variables in the system the better.
I did talk to Jim at Sunright and he did state that I could use the Xenon bulbs as long as I did not exceed 55/65W. The old alternators only handled 35/35W bulbs. The new alternator (mine is 2006 and it has the new alternator) can handle the larger bulbs. So, I'm going to give it a try. I have been doing more night riding lately and I could certainly use the brigher lights.

JR - Thanks for taking the time to reply. I will compare the manual that you have vs. what I have. I actually purchased mine from Sunright. It is on Microsoft Excel and it is very detailed - except for how to remove the headlight. :  I guess I'm just going to have to dive in and start taking things apart. Taking a picture is a great idea! As an FYI - my headlight is the single lens in the center (see my profile picture). I would like to use this opportunity to get a brighter bulb and would love to have some feedback from riders who already went this route. Hopefully, someone will chime in soon. Thanks again for your input and keep up the great work you do with this forum. scooteritch Acworth, GA |

It finally happened. At night, doing around 45MPH, took a small turn and straighten out and all of a sudden, darkness. Yikes! My high-beam goes out. Luckily, I just switched to my low beam and all was well. After 4 years and 15,000 miles my head light finally goes out.
So, here is where I need some help.
First of all, can some explain how to get to the headlight? I have a manual but it does not show what needs to be removed in order to swap out the headlights. This is usually the time I end up breaking something because I'm not sure how things come out or off. A guidance from someone would be greatly appreciated.
Secondly, anyone have any suggestions on a halogen headlight that will not stress out my battery and the electrical system?
I also have a question about the wattage of the original headlight. One of my manual states it is 12V 35/35W and another shows 12V 60/55W. What does it come with originally?
Thanks in advance for everyone's input.
