I have a 1996 300ex. The previous owner removed the stock headlight, wiring, and starter/headlight switch. I have the stock headlight yet and will rewire it to work but was wondering what I can do for more light? I have heard some people say it is as simple as buying a higher wattage bulb from somewhere. I would like to keep this as cheap as possible becuase I don't ride night much, but would like some good lighting for when I need it. I would consider some sort of aftermarket lighting set-up if thats what will give me the best set-up for the $$$. Thanks!!!

I also saw a 350x trike headlight mounted on a 300ex. Contact ricky stator for how much wattage you can run.

 

Get those little round fog lamps that are used in cars. They work really well and the look a lot better that the stock headlight. There only about $20 Canadian so it isn't very expensive at all.

 

I used to have a 300EX and wanted more headlight power too. I bought a pair of fog lights from wal-mart, made a bracket out of steel by dilling holes in it so the lights could bolt up to them. Then I drilled holes in the front metal bar underneath the front hood. Then I bolted it to that. The lights were cool because they just peaked out from under the hood and added a lot of light! I'm not sure if anyone will understand this, but I gave it a try. Ask about anything you don't understand.

 

Are you saying the light were under the front plastic ?? I would be a littel hesitant because of rocks. But may not be any more or less likely to get hit by rocks !! I am not sure.. Sounds cool though.. I would like my lights mounted to my bars, simply to be able to turn the lights with the bars !!

my headlight blew up a while ago so i bought two lights from walmart for 20bucks and bolted them right in to where my racing plastic bolts down it took 20min to get them wired in and the look great and are bright

 

I bought some round fog lights from walmart and bolted them onto my front bumper. They work great and I made an adaptor for the wiring so I just unplug them and unbolt them when Im not night riding (takes about 5 minutes)
