I noticed my head light blown on the way to work. I need to pick one up at lunch today to get me home after work.

I think that the light that is installed in it is the HELLA 002395991 7" H4 . I cant find the Hella H 4 bulb on any of the auto parts stores websites. Can I pick up any brand H4 bulb just so I can get home and then order the correct one tonight? Are all H4 bulbs connectors the same?

Thanks
Rick

 

Does your high beam still work? If so, just switch it to high until you can order the new bulb.

 

+1 Usually the high beam is still good

 

Nope. Neither work. I was in the parking lot at work this morning when I started up the bike for a friend to hear it for the first time and he noticed that the head light was out. So I hit the high beam and it come on for about 2 seconds and it blew. I'm guessing there is more going on here than I want to know about.

 

I bet the 3 prong plug at the light melted and shorted the wires, blowing your fuse and/or light.

 

Yes,unless like stated. Your plug might be shorted

 

If you have spot lights use them.

 

I agree that there is probably something more than just a burned out bulb going on. Unless there is some reason you don't want to be stopped by the cops (other than the light), I would just ride it home. If you do get stopped and the cop wants to give you a ticket, it's just a defective equipment ticket, not a moving violation (at least here in Washington) and when you fix the problem the ticket goes away.

 

To answer your original question, any H4 bulb will fit.

 

Thanks, I'm guessing the same thing. I wanted to know if any H4 bulb would work so that I could pick up a cheap one at lunch to use for testing tonight once I get the faring off. I will take the risk and drive home without it on and then see how it goes.

Thanks again
Rick
