Anyone bought H4 Headlights from Amazon for their Spyder?
Have anyone here bought the H4 headlights on Amazon for their Spyder? If yes, do you mind posting the link? Thanks

Well....
Haven't looked but there are a lot of brands with a lot of claims. I have used many of them and find them pretty much the same. My spyder seems to blow them out on long rydes maybe because I do push the rpm's to the high side when on freeways.

I took a look at your profile and see you have 2017 RT. I hope you are not expecting H4 bulbs to fit in your RT.

I will be replacing a burnt out bulb today. The correct bulb for (at least my) RT is 9005 which is available at most auto part stores. My owners manual lists the headlight bulb as a 60W H4. That is incorrect. You need a 65W 9005.

Hey Floridian.......it’s not hard to do, just tricky to find. You would think that your Profile Picture would be under My Profile, right? Wrong.......it’s under Settings.
Right Up the top of the page (above the red Spyderlovers) select “Settings”
Halfway down on the left, select “Edit Profile Picture”
Follow the quidelines to delete the old photo, add a new photo etc etc

With today's technology, you'd be better off replacing the headlights with LED bulbs.
If it ain't broke, don't break it.

Better yet, use HID like I did on mine. By the way, you'll need an HB3/9005 bulb.

Someone may want to advise BRP to review their manuals before printing. Specifically the Infotainment section..... SAD....

I ordered the LED headlight and driving light kit from Lamont’s site for my Wife’s F3T. They are crisp white light, very bright, and throw a good pattern. They also match the color of light from the fender marker lights.

I went to the auto parts store and got Sylvania Ultra headlights for our F3L when one of the stock headlights burned out. So far so good.

I am old and a lot slower than I used to be. I changed a headlight bulb for the first time and it took me an hour and a half. I moved slowly and deliberately and had the book open to guide me. Next time will be quicker. Not a difficult job. Just time consuming for a slow old guy. Had one burn out last year and the dealer charged $150.00. So I guess I work at a rate of a hundred bucks an hour. (I wish). I think I will go to LEDs when the next one goes and hope for more longevity. BTW, the correct bulb for my RTL is, in fact, Sylvania Ultra 9005. (And, no, I didn't touch the bulb).
