'78 Honda NC50 Express replacement headlight? By rapidrob (Read 1,204 times)

My headlight is burned out.l I see several for sale with replaceable bulbs that have an increased wattage from 15 to 25.
Have any of you bought these new type headlights and had any problems with them? Fit,current draw or switch problems?
I could not get the search function to work.
Thanks

I think I would be looking for an led you could replace it with of the same wattage as the original. Using that machine at night is a real ify thing. Going above the wattage can lead to problems, adding leds to tail could free up amps. The low watts of original does not give much light to start with. A led is much brighter for same watts.

I removed the old bulb from the original headlight only to find the reflective coating on the bezle had flaked off due to moisture in the housing.
I was going to buy the newer type headlight and use am LED lamp. I already have gone to the LED for the brake light, high beam and speedo lamp.
I was more concerned about the new lamp fitting the headlight bucket.

The new headlight showed up. Well made. Incandescent bulb is bright and easy to replace if burned out.
