traded the '99 in. The '03 seems to have better light out of the
box, the
third eye sure looks a little yellow and dim like my '99 did after
changing
bulbs - but I think I'll do the SilverStars again when the time
comes unless
some better option presents.
I got a pair of Xenon type bulbs (similar to the VisionPlus) from
eBay for about £10 - sourced from Japan (Kobo Lighting according to
box). They have made a substantial improvement to night vision.
Have been on the bike for about 4000 miles now, and no problems.
Would agree with suggestions to get the lights aligned properly -
once you have bulbs that actually project a beam you need to worry
about where that beam goes ;) Also agree that taking of bit of
fairing helps with getting access to aim adjusters. Once you work
out how to do it, simply removing the cockpit fairing seems to be the
easiest way.
