        The Xenon bulbs I linked earlier were super bright and had a cool blue tint to em too Plus you get 2 of em for £6.22 - absolute bargain. B)

              Be careful with the 100W. That will offload a lot.of power to the rectifier. Better to.go off with a lower power one but perhaps warmee.

                Ehr, the rectifier burns uo unused current, so the more you need the easier a life it has.

                But the stator cant cope with 100W so the light will probably be dimmer than a 65w

                    @britshgigolo The OEM bulb is only 45W, I had a 55-60W white bulb in mine before I switched to the 100/90W one. Even the 55W was an improvement over the stock bulb, which was more like a crappy house bulb and not the regular car type ones. But obviously not as good as the 90W. Which I ran with no problems on my DTR, but then maybe some problems would surface over the long term? Only time will tell I guess???

                              The headlight on the RE is really good too I thought. Even better when I bought some decent Xenon bulbs from Ring
