Any ideas for the lite's?
I wanna put a blue bulb in there...

[JOEX]

I doubt there is a blue bulb available...could be though.

There was talk awhile back about replacement bulbs...one from a different bike fits...Do a search ..it should turn up..

An idea.... get some of that blue see through paper/plastic...I can't think of what it's called...should be able to find it at a craft store or office supply store. Cut to fit inside the lenses.

You'll lose visibility but they will be blue....good luck

If anyone know's the stock number for the stock bulb in a 400ex that would help me out a ton!!! Thanks:confused:

I have this thing with lites. On the front of my truck, I had a set of Hella Ralle 4000's. I had to take em off cause they blocked the radiator.:(

You can get (probably have to do some custom work) a blue cover for the bulbs, but they will cut your output.

["BLAHH"300!!]

go to wal-mart....(haha that sounds funy)

go there and find bulbs and socketts get the same size as the blinker's on your car/truck

wire it up...i'm runnin' three. one under my nose, one in my airbox, one on top of my motor, by my starter...there all blue
and turn on and off with my stock light switch.
i'm running 2 foglights under the nose of my bike. they also come on with my stock switch...i can turn on my blue lights, and my head (fog) lights seperate using my stock switch.pretty cool...
i don't know how i wired it..don't ask i did it last summer.

there's an idea if you want blue bulbes...you can also buy another switch to turn on and off you blue (street glow) lights
if you like

i think the bulb size is 55/60watts go to an auto store and ask for some of those headlites that ricers are using the bright blue one and make sure they are 55/60 watts and u should be fine i think

Alright I went through this last year. I wanted blue bulbs or just a different color, well here are a few things I learned

No bulbs are made for specific use of, and no bulbs can be made to fit. All of the multicolored bulbs are just straight socket to bulb.
The 400's and 300's headlights(not sure on a 250 or anything else for that matter) have a "washer" sort of wing set up on them to hold them in place. To use another bulb you either have to make on of these or figure out some sort of way to keep the blub from falling through the stock holder.

Here is a route most people have used. Go to Advanced Auto or a store like that, get Engine Block Paint, can says it takes 1500 degrees, now get the Blue Block, spray bulbs once, let dry. Test em out, if you want darker shade, spray again, keep repeating this. It works very well and is a cheap route. Probably your best bet for blue lights although it will cut down light ouptput with every layer of paint, and the blue tint in the color spectrum bothers peoples eyes the most so your gonna just blind some people.

Now here is the second route I used, I went to a truck stop and got some slip on blub covers, heavy duty rubber, you can get an array of colors, I got purple and orange, just slip em on and your done. 3 bucks a pack I believe I paid. Now I did this b/c I hardly ever ride my 400 at night, with the covers on it is almost impossible too. Keep that in mind.

Oh and I think, not too sure the bulbs are H22 or h23, something like that...

Hope I helped.
