Headlight replacement

[mrmike]

      I wired the European front turn signals as running lights. I used cool white LED bulbs. Now the running lights look great, but the factory headlight has that yellowish tint. Does anyone know of a replacement headlight bulb that will give that "whiter" look I'm looking for?

Just look for those that say "Super White" on the box or "5000K"... yellowish bulbs are usually 3000K or 3500K .....  The bulb glass is usually blue in color...

    I went with HID lights ,. after I heard racewalker talking about them, before that I tried all the different lights  and found them wanting,  I got the 6000 pure white ones,. from HID country,.

           I went to several sites, but don't see any kits listed for Kymco. Which kit did you use?

They're usually somewhat generic. You figure out what kind of bulb you have and choose a kit
that works for it. You plug into the existing headlight connector and have to run some wires to
the battery. I like these kits, you can do 2 bikes with them but have to add/wire an extra relay
 for the second one.

This is a H4 with low/high beam built in. You also need to find a place to hide the ballast...

   the 300i downtown uses h8 single low beam light ,.  the gt300i I dont know what bulb you need  I entered for my scooter h8 35 w low beam  hid country,.   and picked out what I needed,.

   I just checked your service manual and it does not list the bulb # ,. but it said it is 55 w ,. do you have seperate bulbs for high beam and low beam,.

       I wnet online to Kymcopartsmonster.com. They list the bulb as a 12v60/55w. I'm quite sure it is just the one bulb.

   looks like your going to open the light to find out the number,. it could be a h8 high and low beam or h11   ,.

  OK! I got the info. My stock bulb is a Phillips H4 12342  12v60/55w. Does anyone know of a whiter replacement bulb?

Any brand of Super White H4 will do...

  Sylvania Silverstar ZXE shows a H4 bulb. Do all the "H4" bulbs have the same base to plug right in my existing location???

I don't think there are other kinds of H4... H4 refers to the base and nothing else...
