Some yes, this one, not so much.

I see a HID conversion on ebay, I may need to be the guinea pig

Funny I was just reading all about this earlier today without seeing it on here,,, I've had a HID kit on a car before and it was quite cumbersome to fit the ballasts event with all the engine bay space. I also had to drill the cap of the rear of the light to fit the cables - so I was looking at some Philips Xrreme Vision 130 instead - trying to get a better light plus something more white light xenon.

The HID was too blue (even though rated at 5500k) and I used to get a lot of flashes from not so happy motorists. Also, on my last Harley I had their LED headlight as an upgrade and it was rubbish! Looked way cool but had a very narrow spread, way worse than a stock light! I had a look at LED H4 bulbs today but all reviews say they're crap too.

These are the Philips

Philips X-treme Vision 130 9003 HB2 H4 Twin Pack Car Bulbs Direct

I've just ordered the Philips Xtreme Vision 130+ and the ETA is later this week. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Hi, Can you tell me how this fits the scrambler, specifically,

is ballast mounting hardware supplied,

is it plug and play or do wires need to be cut and joined,

Thank You.

Hello, Bulb is a straight swap for the original. It is not necessary to cut into any wires. Plugs direct into existing headlight plug on bike. Then one wire to earth and one to battery live. Kit supplied with extension leads and hardware,cable ties for mounting ballast under tank etc out of sight. Full instructions are supplied for Naked bike like the scrambler. Regards

I just tried to fit my new H4 bulbs and to be honest didn't go very far :-( I removed the aluminium ring in the front of the headlight but the light didn't come off as in my Harley's ... So I looked and looked but couldn't figure out how to actually change the headlight bulb - there is no access through the rear as the frame is right there. Any ideas? I don't have my manual yet

That'd be awesome, thanks!

 

[Feli]

Done, thanks!

That's awesome, I will have another go now that I know what to do - thanks!

Just successfully finished installing my new bulb, what an ordeal! Screw #3 is a p*** in the @ss! Took me about 90 minutes! Glad I didn't pay the dealer. I took a "before" photo last night, will take an "after" tonight. Hopefully it was worth the sweat and tears!
