Higher Wattage Headlight Bulb OK?

Don't even know yet if you can replace the bulbs in that dash unit. My guess would be you have to replace the entire unit as a whole. We shall see.

If it's like the KZ650 there are a 2 or 3 very small screws on the underside of the unit. Remove them and the cover lifts off to provide access to the bulbs. Check the bulb wattage to make sure you get the correct replacements. Ed

When handling any of the H4 bulbs, carefully wipe off any fingerprints using rubbing alcohol as the Sodium in the fingerprint oil will cause early bulb failure if turned on without cleaning.

I think you've owned your bike too long ED! :woohoo: Remember unscrewing the plastic ring around the ignition switch allowing cover removal and full access to bulbs?:blink: Just a friendly reminder....:laugh:

You are absolutely right! :laugh: I was thinking about when I replaced the wiring harness, not the bulbs. Next time I'll walk my lazy butt out to the bike before giving advice. Thanks for correcting me. Ed
