Anyone running a yellow Headlite on their Monster ?
«

QUESTION:
I dig the look of Yellow headlights on older/vintage bikes, and was thinking about running one on the monster. Anyone currently running a yellow headlite ? If so where'd you pick it up ? I would rather run a yellow colored housing then just a yellow bulb (so it would still be yellow when it is off).
Anyone ?

Yup..
I mean you can rock a yellow headlite bulb, but when the bikes off it is still gonna be clear.
I am sure someone has a yellow headlite on their scoot (SPEAK UP !
)..

France used to require yellow headlights - don't know if they still do. Is there an ebay for France?

Here's a question:
Would a aftermarket headlite (say from a HD) or whatever work on a Monster ?
I remember I stuck a "jeweled" headlite that was intended for a HD into my old 70's CB750 cafe bike without issue.

Not entirely on the subject, but I run yellow H-11 bulbs for my car's fog lamps and they're awesome. I picked up a pair of Nokya brand from fleaBay. The idea is that the yellow light has a longer wave-length and will actually throw a longer beam in inclement weather (fog, etc...) than a standard white-light bulb. It does take a little getting used to. I mean... things in front of you will definitely appear more yellow. When the lights are off, the reflector still gives the entire housing a bit of a yellow tinge. I think they're cool. Just type in H-4 yellow bulb on fleaBay and look for a good price. Nokya brand has a pretty good track record. The downside of the yellow film is that it has a tendency to melt/discolor/burn with prolonged use.

I used to run a yellow headlight on my CBR. I liked it but i wouldn't do it if you ride a lot at night. The white is better for lighting up the road. I did it to make the bike stand out a bit more in traffic. Just buy a yellow bulb and throw it in to see how you like it.
