Can anyone let me know what the options are for replacing it with another more modern type unit as it was pretty dim anyway.

I can't stick a bulb in there as it's a sealed beam.! so the whole headlight is one big bulbwireman wrote: Buy a regular round halogen replacement bulb and stick it right in there,a 70s chevy truck halogen bulb fits also if you cant find kawasaki listing.

The bulb Im referring to is a sealed beam,millions of trucks used them in the 60s-70s it goes in just like the stock headlight.KZ1000inaus wrote:

Any light labeled H6024 will probably be right regardless of manufacturer. The "H" means halogen and the 6024 is a standard size code.
