    1983 200X headlight

    I just pulled off my headlight and removed the burned out bulb. Weird looking bulb. Where can I get another? Is there anything at O'reillys that will fit? Or is this a Honda only part?
    What kind of bulb is it, does it have an official designation?
    Thanks in advance,
    Doug

    ebay or www.bikebandit.com i beleive they also make a bulb upgrade for the 200x style light that is way brighter. I think sylvania has a silverstar bulb for it.

    I see Bikebandit has it as a 12v/60w for the stock bulb from the oem parts. Is that an h4 bulb? With the wide base and the 3 prongs to fit the attachment point or bulb holder.
    Thanks,
    Doug

    you have to check the bulb on your bike and make sure it's matched up. not sure what your seeing, and i myself don't have a 200x "yet" but the 200x has the same bulb as the 350x and 250es/sx

    I just tried this this morning with my wiring harness. A Philips H4 I had lying around from a car I used to have works. Its a 12v 55/60w.

    The only thing is, it is VERY dim. Like it does nothing for you if you are riding in the dark. A flashlight taped to the handlebars would be better.

    Is the oem one brighter, maybe because a car bulb isn't getting enough juice? Or is the 200x light just dim in general?

    I put a new stator in mine, and its bright even at idle. I used a standard halogen bulb from the auto parts store. They had ones that look just like what came out.

    Was yours dim before the new stator? About how much did it run you?
