Crappy Headlights

[trophydave]

Agreed,the wiring is like cotton.That and the fact that our bikes are getting on a bit now cant help.There is some stuff over on the triumphrat site by D'Escosse about upgrading headlamp wiring but I havnt had a proper read of it yet.

OK well I just purchased a set of PIAA, powersport bulbs, H4 xtreme white plus, 60W/55W. I was told that these will have the same draw as my stock bulbs but will be brighter and shouldn't affect the operation of my other electrical systems, etc...

Is this true? Can I get away with this for now or should I be focused on the relay and setting that system up?

Be sure you know which fuses to pull quickly just in case.

Well Vince said he was currently using these bulbs in both his 2005 Girly and 800 Tiger with no issues.

well speak of the devil

I just plugged them in on my 55 plate 955i tigger
and the same on my 800 tigger
no mods
been in the 800 for over a year no problems
in the 955i fo two years
perhaps I'm just lucky

definitely brighter in both bikes
so impressed I took them out of the 955i when I sold it as I'm a tight git
and put them in the 800
the 8oo had good lights any way but the pia's made them better

cheers vince

Im still going to try to cobb together the relay system and see how i do with that. I have found some more information about it and think it is something I can handle, but the bulbs for now will at least be an improvement over my current situation. Thanks for your  help with that Sin!!! I have found some pictures online of the system you described and am sure it is something I can do. No easy task getting to these bulbs though is it with the Tiger???

Both lamps working just dim as hell. Will install the new bulbs next week.

I've been using these for the last year.  They are crazy bright, and help conserve the watts for other uses.
