Im a big fan of the street fighter look but was wondering if you guys think i should change the front headlight? I was thinking about something more stealth looking. anything out there that has a darker casing?

I say go for it, ive recently turn my bike into the FZ6-N version and am very happy with the look of it, i ordered an aftermarket headlight assembly from ebay, installed some bar end mirrors, made a bracket to relocate the speedo assembly, and painted everything that was silver to the matte black finish to match the rest of the bike.

If you forget to periodically check your headlights, there's a fleet of black-and-white cruisers who will gladly do it for you. Unfortunately they charge quite a bit, and that's if you don't have to show up in court with a picture of your Buy China (http://www.chinabuye.com/Buy China) car with both lights on to prove that you fixed it. So go ahead and take a peak at the front of your car. If you're lazy you can wait until you're behind a big trailer and check them from your driver's seat.
If you have a bulb out, you can pay the guy at the oil change shop four times the price of a new bulb, and he'll take care of it. But that's not you! You do things yourself, so go ahead and make it happen!

This procedure covers most halogen headlight systems with bulbs loaded into the back of the lens. If your car has sealed beam headlights, this won't help.

That sounds it is pretty to replace the bulb yourself,but we need tutorial video in order to do it ourself right?
