I received and installed this headlight. E-bay item  155008426102
It is putting out much better light than the stock 35W sealed beam. Like I'm not afraid to ride at night anymore. So no need to go to LED.
My voltage readings at the battery are 13.2v @ idle and 14.5V @6,000rpm.
While it looks good, the bucket is cheap. When fitting it to my bike, I had to make a indent in the back of the bucket to clear the bottom of the ignition switch. A few wacks with a ballpeen hammer and the chrome in that area flaked off. I question if it is really chrome.

Can you post exactly what you got? I have a KZ305 all stock in perfect condition needs a new headlight and I want an upgrade as well but I have no clue how I should proceed. I don't want to order something that wont work and have to return it. I want to keep it looking vintage and I want an H4 replaceable bulb. any suggestions would be amazing thanks
