Boothy Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 So my old bulbs werent very good so I had a look online and found out my bike takes H4 bulbs... So I bought some Philips x-treme vision +100% bulbs... So they arrived this morning and I took out my old bulb and its different? Can somebody shed some light onto wtf just happened Its a 2001 Bandit 600 S (S is important because it has a different headlight. The actual bulb glass bit of them look the same but everything else looks different :/Original Bulbhttp://i.imgur.com/xmqqP.jpgNew Bulbhttp://i.imgur.com/1oK6G.jpg Quote
GazW Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 Does the old bulb not pull out of that plastic thing on the bottom? Quote
Boothy Posted March 5, 2012 Author Posted March 5, 2012 I'm now in a really bad mood... according to every seller on ebay the bandit 600 s 00-03 is a H4 bulb which is what I bought. Having taken them out it turns out I need a HB4 (9006) and a HB3 (9005).. f**k sake. Quote

Boothy Posted March 5, 2012 Author Posted March 5, 2012 oh dear. Silly boy, atleast you have found some now! I'm not the only silly one... every single seller on ebay claim that H4's will fit That first one looks like an old gas lamp. I can assure you that a old gas lamp would have probably have been brighter... Quote

Ingah Posted March 5, 2012 Posted March 5, 2012 If an eBay seller's auction says it fits and it doesn't, then get yourself a refund. I wouldn't pay for some other idiot's mistake. Quote
