Not higher output, but I did outfit my bike with a pair of 37.5 W driving lights for additional lighting. Worked fine, but proved to be surperfluous to my needs. -Tom '96 KLR 650

[dsn_klr650] headlight upgrade (walmart brand?)

Dust, I use a SYLVANIA 9003 CB bulb. It is a whiter light and IMO is much better than the stock H4 bulb. Another plus is it has the same rating as the stock bulb. They can be purchased at Pep Boys and other auto parts stores for around 14 bucks. More info: http://www.sylvania.com/prodinfo/auto/cool/welcome.htm John

This problem might also be addressed with an expandable rubber boat plug that could be snagged at a marine store or many of the large discount stores that have sporting goods departments. They would also have the oil you would need. Mark McCoy George Basinet wrote:
