honda 200x lighting problem

**yamaha driver** · 10-30-2011, 06:32 PM

just got my 200x running. I put a 185s engine with the 185s wiring harrness in the 200x frame. Since i needed a headlight bulb i bought a halogen bulb for a 200x. But now when i turn the light on it seems to be very dim even if revved. so my question is would it be the bulb since its for a 200 not 185??, a bad ground, or something else i missed

Kyle, The lighting coil on the 200s is not as strong as the 200x. If you get a lighting coil from a 200x that will fix it. The 200X bulb has more resistance.

I am pretty sure the 185s and 200s use the same lighting coil and bulb. I dont thing the 185s bulb will fit in the 200X headlight shell. I have a headlight from a 200s I can go out and look, but I wouldnt get my hopes up if I were you.

on my headlight where the bulb sits, its all chewed up anyway so my bulb is taped in...... i didnt know the 200x bulb needed more juice. i wonder if they make a halogen bulb for a 185.

The lens from the 185 might fit right in the 200x shell. Give me some time Ill go get it and have a look.

i think if i take my lens out of the shell its going to fall apart.

They are different size lenses and the bulbs are different bases. Sorry bud you are screwed. Ill look to see if I have any other 200x stators out there.

I know a guy that has a nice 200x headlight with the brackets and all of the bolts. LOL

well my headlight case is just a hole. lol so i can put any base in there really. i dont feel like switching lighting coils since i dont have a flywheel puller. AND THANKS agian for that exhaust
