Bulbs or Rather Lamps

Our electrical engineers say "bulbs go in the ground" 😁

Anyway, I thought the quickest but not the cheapest was to get the headlight, clock light and pilot light bulbs for the SR125 was to buy them off Fowlers. The others are ok but the headlight bulb is nowhere near. I don't know what's gone wrong. I'll have to check what I ordered. Its far too small to fit. Anyone know where's the best place to get motorcycle bulbs from? Most if not all cars use halogen so I don't suppose they're gonna sell dual filament bulbs at Halfords?

Don’t know of any reason why they wouldn’t sell dual filament eg H4’s

Pretty sure it has a 35/35 globe, or in other terminology a scooter globe

I’d say they’ll have one, they are common

I had a look at the much earlier SR125's and the part number for them was different. So based on the theory that one of the previous eight owners might have put an earlier head light on the bike after crashing it I ordered one. The delivery estimate popped up as 13th July! I actually bought two of the bulbs from a local bike shop. The following day the one that was estimated delivery 13th July arrived. I now have one headlight bulb fitted and two spare.
