brighter headlight? Aug 14, 2006 21:08:42 GMT -5

Is it feasible to mount a brighter headlight on the SR 500? Has anyone found it necessary?

What would you use? Is it expensive? Difficult for an absolute mechanical/electrical dummy to do?

Also...the previous owner broke off the switch for the high/low beams. It looks to me like the whole light/turn signal/horn switch assembly has to be replaced, since I don't think just the high/low toggle is available. How hard could it be?

Learning as I go...

Thanks!

Just watch how it comes apart and put it back the same way. miker
