Bulb compatibility

Bought this Apico headlight

It’s not very bright & it doesn’t have hi/lo beam.

Is it possible to swap the bulbs for some Brighter ones with hi/lo beam?

Pretty sure it's an enduro light, it's not meant to be EU UK compliant.

@calum it’s not road legal your right lol

[Calum]

@ricky0115 Yeah, which is why I say the lighting out f them will br poo.

Are they just domestic low voltage halogen? No beam pattern at all? If so would purchase something more suitable and put that one on top of the Christmas tree

[NINJA]

@ricky0115 Are they LED bulbs or regular? Are you able o remove them and see a type code ???

[ricky0115]

@ninja they are halogen, I will take a look tomorrow but I was looking on eBay at some H4 bulbs, just waiting on measurements.

@ricky0115 H4 will give you a brighter light for-sure. it all depends on the fitment and what will suit that.

[oldman]

They are not h4, had a look on t'internet, just bog standard halogen downlighter bulbs, you are gonna have to bite the bullet and get something else if you want road legal. You could jam any bulb you like in that and it will never be road legal, ever.

DTRE Lights are probably going to be the best in terms of brightness. They are so much better than the DTR ones, and the enduro ones are really more for style over substance.

Again, you actually don't need lights for a legitimate MOT. But if they are fitted, then they must comply.

What we do is simply place a piece of card over the bulbs, and tape up the switches.

You can get a day time MOT with that done.
