Headlight bulb

[CB ARGH]

This works. Taken from another post of mine yesterday for the same thing:

"Rotate the bulb so that one tab slots in correctly, the biggest tab can be bent back so that about half of it fits in another slot. The 3rd tab will need to be bent away from the lens and then the tip bent back over so it just grabs the outside of the holder.

Use the little circle in the centre of the lens to line up the bulb."

I've done this with H4 60/55W bulbs on both my CBR250 & my VFR400, and never had any issues with the housing or wiring.

So the system did not struggle or melt/whatever with this setup?

People run extra wattage bulbs all the time. 60W/55W is nothing to worry about; wouldn't think that the low-beam circuit would be any more lightweight than the high-beam circuit (in terms of wiring, switch (well same switch anyway!) etc), so 55W should be just fine.

So, is it an H4R fitting or something? Not normal H4 style?

How could I tell?

It was my suggestion that it is an H4R. I read it on some website. I havent verified this, or ever seen or touched a H4R lamp or a CBR headlamp unit.

How could I tell?

Get a dud H4 bulb and try and fit it. Ask around at the garages. Let me know if you exhaust all your options finding one. There was an earlier suggestion about how it could be modified.

It seems you have two dip filaments and two fullbeam filaments. If you are worried about power consumtion, you could disable the dip beam on the right, and disable the fullbeam on the left. It might look cool doing this too. Legal? might not be.

Definitely not... only ignorance would allow that opinion.
