Headlight wattage

[Lin]

Jim,

Sorry if I was unclear, but I thought I said that I was going with the Hella (#002850871) headlights since they are half the cost of the Cibies.  The 24v bulbs are easily available.

I spoke to a guy at Hells, by the way, that said if your state inspects headlights as part of their safety inspections, e-codes will not pass.  CA does not have such inspections.

The Hella sealed beam 7 incher has exactly the same lens except it has the little nubs for setting up the headlight aim er.  Exactly the same except the beam is sealed.  Still costs like the dickens.  I was stopped in Ca. years ago and the Rookie gleefully announced that my headlights were not legal and the senior CHP he was riding with said "forget about that".  Not enforced unless you are a jerk with them.  That was in the late 80's.  I have had those lights a long time.  I have a second pair that i bought in the mid 90's and no cop ever said a word in Orygun.  Go for it.
