    New 7" headlight and wiring bit of loom for it

    I have asked this question before and as I am now only on mobile ver of this site i can't find the answer. It would have helped. I am happy to be called lazy but other mechanics on other bikes is cracking me and the forum is called to.help...... coffee and beer has not helped .

    Anyway. GSX250e 1980 headlight sealed unit one , high and low beam and window for sidelight bulb.
    Low beam gone
    (No sidelight wiring I have just noticed so not attached )

    So

    I want a new 7" headlight - not sealed unit
    (https://www.demon-tweeks.com/uk/bike...t-unit-381432/)
    Like this but need the loom bit for the new sealed unit one? And being the poorest of members I have to be frugal.
    Like a rubber bung thing and attachment for bulbs .... That then attach to my wiring Inc the new sidelight but.

    Yes I can be accused of laziness but I can't find the loom bit for sale anywhere. I can't jam a h4 bulb into a vacant space ....

    Anyhow that is what I need ? ,
    Oh and I don't want a sealed unit one as it doesn't make sense to me.
    (Take into account I am the worst at electrics being red green colour blind but getting better. I can remake any terminal to bullet connectors or whatever and am now handy tracing wires to find what does what buy turning on and using switches)

      That unit should do fine, it should come with a mount for an H4 bulb, and hopefully a rubber boot for the back of it (to cover the bulb end).
      Your existing bulb connector will push straight on to the H4 prongs.
      Righty ho - one caveat - not all Japanese 7" headlights are the same. There's a very high probability it will fit your shell, but you might need to get another piece to nest it in place, or maybe not. I can't say for sure with yours, I've had to pyss about doing stuff like that in the past, but always got a working light at the end of the day, which is when you really need it.

        Think im gonna go for this as i can see it has the relevant bits .....




        The one thing i don't have is the wiring side bit for a sidelight bulb. It cant ever have been there.
        It looks like this one has a opening for it.

        Now what do i do without the sidelight bulb holder and accompanying wiring , not that there is much ?
