My brother took a pretty bad spill on my DS and busted the headlight mounts off(both of them). First I was wondering if apoxy,or JBweld would work on the mounting tabs. Second, can I go to a auto parts store and buy a replacement bulb? Is there anything that cross references with the DS head light bulb? Thankx.

Yes you can just buy a bulb from the auto store, they cost i think 7 dollars same as if you buy them from the dealer.
As for the headlight mount, Maybe duct tape will work?

 

I tried to fix mine with epoxy. It did hold for a few weeks but broke again due to the vibrations. The tabs broke on mine to i did not try j-b weld that might hold better. New light assembly is 100.00 ouch!![img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-disgusted.gif[/img]

 

Thanx guys,(I luv this forum)

Mxzxracin, do you have a part# for the bulb?at say AutoZone or NAPA?

Sand, My brother is more than willing to buy me a new headlight assembly ,But my DS took so much skin off his A$$, I'd feel bad telling him that the headlight is a $100 plus.LOL.

Thanx again guys.

I just went to checker auto parts with the old buld, and they have a row with lights and there was like 6 lights and there is only one that is the same... Or just show the clurk the light and he will get it for you...

 

Hmmmmmmm,

Now, all i've got to do is find the old bulb.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-blush.gif[/img]

I have the buld... i dont what part of all the words you need...

 

OSRAM BILUX 64193 GERMANY 12V 60/55W H4 U 37R E1 00801 w 014

Thanks what it says... I think all you need it The "E1"
Do you remeber what it looks like?

 

The bulb you want is a H-4 bulb.

 

This is funny that someone is asking about a bulb! I bought a 2 new yellow bulbs for my Triumph Street bike. My DS is all in pieces, So I thought maybe the bulbs are the same? Sure enough they are! IMO I think the Bombs would look sweet with a Yellow head light! It's regular H4 55/60Watt with a plastic yellow bubble around it. It's Yellow, Yellow, not white yellow if you know what I mean.
