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.

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

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

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, see below.

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 QH version at £11.95 each. B1245P43

 

 

The Osram Nightbreaker has claimed 90% more light which is 10% whiter & now lasts 30% longer in the latest version Nightbreaker Plus

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

60/55W H4 at £14.95

Pt.no. B12OSH4

Osram also market this bulb packaged specifically for motorcycles as the Nightracer. They are the same bulb but the Nightbreaker is much cheaper!

 
The Nightbreaker H4 was again awarded the Auto Express 'Best buy 2012' in its annual Bulb Mega Test

NEW PHILIPS H4 BULBS DESIGNED ESPECIALLY FOR MOTORCYCLES
