Hi Guys.
Where can I get a pair of headlight bulbs for my 3TJ?
I have tried the main dealers, but at £27 per bulb I'd rather buy from somewhere cheaper!

These are the same as the 1000 RU 91-92 and I know a former owner who searched for alternatives with no sucess.

I haven't looked at the 3TJ lights yet but I saw that Leopard Pagan's CBR400 was converted to use H4 bulbs. Two of the three bulb locators are commonthe third wasn't. If the Yam's bulbs are the same then it's a case of modding the holder by cutting the third bit out.
You need to keep the same bulb rating or if you go higher fit a relay

From comparing the bulbs of my 4 & 6, they are different sizes with the 400 being smaller. It may be a clearance issue, but I will have a look to see if it is possible.
Just wondering why they would make the bulbs smaller, surely there must be a reason other than selling more parts.....

So the japanese can hold them better - small hands you see
ok so that's not the answer in fact it's probably a sweeping generalisation if not a bit racist
