Default Lighting Question

I have a '00 Heritage that has stock sealedbeam headlight. Can I change to an H4 halogen style bulb without any modifications? I have the H3 halogen passing lights but would like to have the same for the headlight. I'm ok with mods if any, just wondering if it was a plug & play or not.

Default RE: Lighting Question

It's a straight forward swap, the only thing you'll need is of course a new H-4 compatible lens (HD or otherwise) and the H-4 bulb of your choice. That's the easy part. Check some of the threads on this and other boards about headlamp bulb, wattage, heat generation, etc. You might want to look at Daniel Stern's website also, has a lot of great information on bulbs and m/c headlamps.
