    HD conversion for "L" model headlights??

    Anybody know where I can find an HD conversion headlight to fit my 850GLZ ? The headlight is smaller than the standard 7" job...

    I didn't open it up to measure, but it seems about 6 3/8" or so.

    well if it has a H4 bulb, it can be done as you just get a H4 HID kit.

    if it is a sealed beam you would need to find a housing that uses the H4 bulb.

      My 1000 GLX has the same crummy little headlight and an H4 bulb...

        Ditto -- it's just a standard H4.

        Drop in a Silverstar H4 or 9003 (available at any Wal-Mart or auto parts store) and go ride.

          OK thanks. Guess I should look at it before asking stupid questions .

          Thanks,
