Probably a voltage regulator problem. A lot of people over look this and blow a set or 2 of bulbs before realizing there is other issues.
Bulbs? I can get non-halogen ( sp? ) bulbs a lot cheaper than $25. If you need some let me know.

Will they work in a 350x? I ask because I am sure they have thier own special bulb.Originally Posted by Howdy

I remember seeing a post where somebody got 350X replacement bulbs from Dennis Kirk for $3 to 5 each. However I think they are a 25W bulb while the OEM 350X bulb is 35/36.5W. Still, cheaper than the (I think) $20 each that Service Honda wants for em
How long did it take for the bulbs to blow?

the volatage regulator is mounted on the backside of the airbox. i think it's the white + green wires . the other 2 are for the tail light.
( 4 wires going back towards the rear of your trike )
i was working on my x once and forgot to plug in the regulator - POP went 2 halogens ,,,, it took a few extra revs to get the cheap tail light bulb to pop.

I swear i cannot find the bulbs on the DennisKirk site. Maybe I should try calling.
The light blew in under a minute. They got all blue (Projected against the wall) and then bam, out and some smoke.
I think my regulator only has 3 wires coming out of it, and 2 are hooked up. I will have to look better

Yes, they fit in the 350x. I have been running this style bulbs in my 350x's for years. I would rather blow a couple $3 bulbs than a $20 one. But as mad_max stated they are 35watt bulbs. They aren't quite as bright as a halogen, but they are faily close. I'm not sure how many I have in stock but I do try to keep a half a dozen or so. I am thinking they run $2.75 a bulb. I will need to double check this toi be sure.
I checked denniskirks web site and I couldn't find them either. I know they had them before. hmmm

Put a volt meter on a hot light feed wire. Start the motor. Watch the voltage and rev the motor. If it takes a huge jump, your regulator is not working.

you know what I looked at one on ebay, ity had 2 wires and what I believe was a ground anttached to a bracket that grounds the the frame. Mine doesnt have that. So I figure that my surges of power have no where to be distributed to. Or is the one in the picture nit for a 350x?
Could someone please take a gander at it.
