QUARTZ HALOGEN PILOT / SIDE LIGHTS

Daytime riding lights & indicators

6 & 12V Quartz Halogen pilot light bulb BA9s and BA15s. Bright enough to be noticed without straining your charging circuit. Direct replacement, needs no wiring or switch changes. These replace the bulbs in illustrations 25, 26 & 39 in the diagrams of standard bulbs.

The BA9s is usually found as a pilot light inside a headlamp reflector, whereas the BA15s is often fitted by itself as a side light. Miller headlamps sometimes use the BA15s as a Pilot bulb.

These can also be used for brighter indicators.

The BA9s 6V 10W or 20W and 12V 23W are ideal as daytime running lights.

These will fit British bikes 1920s to date and most other cars and bikes

On older British bikes the pilot bulb is turned off when the headlight is on

On more modern bikes the pilot bulb is not turned off. Because of heat this limits the pilot bulb to 10W.

QUARTZ HALOGEN & XENON H4 TYPE BULBS

The most common type of headlamp bulb now fitted to cars and bikes is the P43t H4

This is a Quartz halogen bulb, but can be replaced with brighter Xenon filled versions.

 

 

The latest high output H4 is the Osram Nightbreaker with a claimed 90% more light which is 10% whiter.

I've put one of these into my Triumph Thunderbird & the difference is very noticeable.

H1 & H4 at £10.00 each £20.00 / pr.

 

 

12V 45/45 P43t H4. If your system can't cope with the 60/55W but you think the 35/35W won't be bright enough, we can offer a 45/45W version at £9.95 each.

 

NEW PHILIPS H4 & H7 BULBS DESIGNED ESPECIALLY FOR MOTORCYCLES

 

  Designed especially to make motorcycles more visable, the new Philips MotoVision bulbs give the rider a clear white light, but the oncoming driver or pedestrian will see an orange tint. This will set the bike apart from the sea of white and blue lights from cars and trucks.
     

The Motovision bulb also gives 40% more bright white light and a 10-20 M. longer beam than Quartz Halogen bulbs fitted as standard to modern bikes.

H4 60/55 £9.95

 

 

NEW 12V 35/35W Motovision H4 £9.95 Pt.no. B1235MOH4

This is the only low Wattage high output H4 available, ideal for smaller bikes with a small generator.

 

We stock a range of standard Quartz Halogen as well as cheaper Xenon bulbs
