Headlight - Like? Dislike?

Post by DennisD »

I find the headlight on my Buddy to be lousy compared to my Vino. Granted, it needs to be adjusted but the reflector seems to throw a "broken" or "fragmented" beam. Any comments? Will a properly adjusted light improve this?

If you have an '07 and up Buddy (with the bigger halogen headlight setup) you can replace the poor 30W bulb with a SilverStar 55/65W bulb for improved lighting, w/o any trouble.. 8) -I have one in for about a year now, no problems, much better lighting! 8)
(Make sure you use the SilverStars tho, as other 55/65W halogen bulbs have been reportedly giving off some overheating problems..)
Namaste,
