Improving the front Headlight?

fender · Post by **fender** » 27 Dec 2007, 13:23

My Camino is fine to use in daylight, but if you are riding at night on an unlit road, it is VERY difficult to see the road using the standard Honda headlight.

Can the bulb perhaps be upgraded in some way?

Would love to know.

Thanks,

Has anyone got any ideas?

Thanks

You could put in another light bulb that has more power (W) so that it will give more light. I did this many times back in the days.

you can buy a 12v 55W H3 socket car lamp (or 35w).
You need an old lamp, working or not it's not inportant, you need only the ring around the lamp

you can remove the ring by removing the tin solderpoint with a sharp knive,... after that you can push the lamp out with some pacience, use gloves in case of the lamp breaks.
Or you can destroy the lamp and remove the socket with pliers, as long the ring is okay.

After that put in the new lamp en solder the lamp into the ring

This was the hard part... the rest can you do yourself... connect the lamp DIRECTLY (best without other power consumers)to the red or green wire (look what gives the best result) and you have very bright light (hope it won't blind other people).

notice: on idle the front light glows maybe to softly.

edit: got pictures... update soon

Flaming Proma;

Do you have anymore pics of this please? Would be very interested to see how it is wired up inside too.

Also, if you use a 35w bulb, will this damage (and fuse) the other lights on the bike such indicators?

Should I use a 6v H3 bulb or a 12w one? I not you suggest a 12w H3 bulb.

Thanks.
