Headlight bulb '01 R* 2 Years, 8 Months ago  
My low beam went out couple days ago, pulled the bulb to inspect and yeah it had little bits of coil bouncing around. No big deal , my high beam was working so I'll wait till I get around to buying a new bulb. Well the high beam went out now as I was riding some today . Is the bulb a dealer item or is there an aftermarket at Autozone, O'Reillys, etc.

Also even though both beams are out, the high beam indicator still lights up when the switch is on high beam, is this normal

I took Cliffords advise.
http://www.piaa.com/Bulbs/Bulbs-H4.html. I bought the extreme intense white. Buy at Amazone much cheaper.

If I remember right, it's just an H4 bulb, available at any parts place. And you dash indicator should still work, even with the burnt out headlight.

Thanks guys for the info, I'll check out the parts stores have a few close to the house.

Had called the local dealer for the heck of it and it's a $16 item that they don't carry in stock, which doesn't surprise me !

Agpilot......Autozone Sylvania XtraVision, 30 percent brighter for $3.99 more than standard and not as pricey as the Ultra White ! Looks good enough for me as I really don't do any nite time driving these days.

Thanks again guys................

elproadie, IMHO any of the h4 bulbs from you local auto parts store is going to be better than what you get from yammi. The original bulb in my 03 was junk, I think a candle would have done as well...
