eBay headlight

[rac3r]

I've been running an old 7" headlight off of a 79 Suzuki GS for about a year now and those can be found for a song on ebay.  Let me know when it comes in and if it's too small for the stock Monster bucket, I'd be curious to know if it would fit in the one I have and whether or not it's as bright as I'd like it to be.   Shoot me a PM when it comes in.

BTW, the Zuki bucket I have on now I think looks worlds better than the stock bucket.  You'll have to do some finish work unless you find one in really good shape (not to mention the spacing you'll need if you still have the stock headlight bracket) but they look so much cooler than stock that it's worth it to me.

Thanks for the info! I'll look into it

WASTE OF MONEY!!!!!!

It's not a sealed projector inside the headlight it's a normal reflector headlight with a lens stuck in front of it. Because of this most of the light gets reflected around and hardly any goes through the actual 'reflector'. It's going back on ebay!

I'll upload some pics once my SD card decides to work

Comparison of stock and the new one



So called 'projector'



Stock headlight beam



New headlight with so called brighter bulb NOTE: beam is not level because I only mounted it up with tape and it's not straight



As you can see the light is all over the place!

if you use a projector, your reflector housing needs to be smooth otherwise the light scatters about everywhere. if you use a projector, the housing needs to be relatively the same size, not 3x bigger.

Someone should of told you that it wasn't going to work from the get go. .

My mistake really, have sent you a PM

BTW: you cant use a clear lens for you're stock headlight, the lens is a freshnel lens. without it the light wont focus.... and youll just end up having the ebay headlight again.

if you want a clear lens, you need a smooth reflector housing and a projector.

its an endless loop, just give in and do a proper retrofit!

This is the kind of mod I had in mind. But, its a bit of fabrication work on the headlight I think...

Its a full projector HID kit. Not sure if the bulbs are included or if its just the conversion kit they are selling for $135...

There are plenty of projectors out there so that's not the problem it's the clear glass/lens you need which I can't make since I'm crap at making things 

If I can find a headlight with a clear lens going cheap then I'll buy it and retrofit the projectors

something like that?
