sylvania silverstar sealed beam substitution for klr headlamp assem

Post by lasvegasrider » Tue Nov 15, 2005 12:38 am

Hey ya guys. I dont' post on this list much anymore, after having posted 100s of times before focusing on other sites. A few things I have done are of interest to those modifying their KLRs in ways that are not easy to do. One of them is dealing with the headlight pattern provided by the lens and reflector of the stock headlamp. I removed it and built a fiberglass shell with twisted SS wire braid immersed in the mold and encasing the stock headlamp (sectioned) shell mount. I then installed the sealed beam Sylvania Silverstar lamp, which was used as a mold component (with lightly lubed plastic wrap to allow for the release after the fiberglass set-up). The light pattern is full, perimeters are filled, and no hot spots/dead spots in either the low or high beam patterns exist. If you KNOW how to work with fiberglass and intregating metal into fiberglass, this mode is well worth the labor investment and tweaking that is needed (some bending and installation of material to prevent back-lighting the cowling). Contact me at lasvegsrider@... or drop me a PM via advrider.com - user name - lasvegasrider, if you are interested in getting a good lense in front of a premium Halogen light source.
