    I have the Triumph bar and running lights on my America. I need to replace a bulb. What size/type do I buy and is it possible to put something brighter in without drawing too much from the battery? Thanks for your help.

    Hi uk-ken, they are 55w I think they are halogen single element H1 ?

    There are higher wattages but I wouldn't recommended going bigger as I think the charging system might be close to maximum with these on, I put 35w HID's on my bike see my avatar or go look at my photos .

    I just recently picked up a second hand light bar and spotlights, long story short the plug in Triumph loom let me down so I rewired a separate wiring circuit through a new relay and still had an intermittent problem. Thankfully I got the heads up from a Speedie rider who had similar problem, it was a faulty toggle switch on the left hand spotlight. All sorted now and they make a huge difference at night and in daytime wet weather they make me a lot more visible on the highway. 002.JPG P1140512.JPG
