upgrading a jap nc30,s headlamps

[Cammo]

philips Xtreeme are really AWESOME bulbs.. I can't stress how good they are over standard bulbs (which is why they always win What Car bulb of the year.

Sheesh.. there's an award for everything it seems.

Might have to look into getting some.

There really awesome compared to cheap H4's though... 20gbp a set and there so much brighter and a clearer light and last a long time..

Modifying the headlight is fairly easy.

Take it out of the the bike.

Drop a H4 in and see where the tabs want to sit and using a dremel or small file (dremel is easy takes 2 seconds) cut a bit of the plastic away so the tabs can fit in properly.

John at VSource had a very good guide to modifying the headlamps to accept H4 bulbs. As well as cutting the the plastic away the retaining clip needs to be moved to a different hole. Relatively straightforward job and well worth it. I fitted my NC30 with Philips Blue Vision bulbs many years ago.

I work at an auto electricians, and we highly recommend the Philips extreme, you can get em in either 80% or 100% brighter.

So much brighter than originals.

I'll see how cheap I can get em.
