1983 200X headlight

[geargrinder]

I re-wired my tail light with a trailer fixture and ran wires to both sides. When the high beam is on the running light in the trailer bulb is on. When the low beam is on the brake light in the trailer bulb is on. The system works and protects the headlight bulb.

Grizzlypeg, what kind of auto bulb did you get?

The bulb looked just like the original, some sort of Halogen bulb, cost me around $12 at PartSource. The stator was around $40 from Rickystator on ebay. Before changing the stator, the light was simply a glow at idle. With the new stator, its bright at idle and higher revs. You have to be handy with a soldering iron to install the stator. You have to solder it to the old wires inside the side cover. No big deal, but its not a simple drop in project. Sure worth it though.

I might have to look into that. Mine is just dim orange pretty much all the time
