Are they the standard wattage Boz I don’t even know what’s standard on the 4c8. My Transit custom had pretty sh!t lights i popped in some Halfords own 150% brighter ones (same wattage white light) and it’s made my drive home much safer and no one is flashing at me so they must be ok.Boz wrote: Thu Jun 04, 2020 10:15 am Pointless having HID lights fitted as they'll have no E mark, fail the MOT, and could blind other road users!
MOT rules state:
'Some motorcycles may be fitted with high intensity discharge (HID) headlamps. Existing halogen headlamp units should not be converted to be used with HID bulbs. If such a conversion has been done, you must fail the headlamp.'
I use Philips X-Treme Vision bulbs in my 4C8, plenty bright enough for me at night!
