12V 60/55W YELLOW QUARTZ HALOGEN H4 Daytime running headlight bulbs

LOOK DIFFERENT & BE SEEN

   

These new yellow H4 headlights are specifically designed to make motorcycles more visable.

Most cars either have 'Daytime running lights' or run with their headlights on even in good visability, so so just riding with your headlight on is often not enough.

A yellow headlight will make your bike stick out in a sea of white lights.

Imagine you're filtering down a line of cars, a yellow headlight will be seen against all the other white lights. The same on dual carrigeways, a yellow light will stick out in a drivers rear view mirror

Because it is different, motorists will notice it and you will be seen. Yellow headlight are 100% road legal so MOTs aren't a problem.

These are modern Quartz Halogen bulbs that give a longer beam & the manufacturers claim 100% more light than from a std. QH bulb, particularly if yours is getting old.

Pt.no. B1260H4YEL. £9.95 each.
Try one, you really will notice the difference. I saw on the first ride after I fitted one, car drivers waiting to come onto a roundabout staring at me. They didn't do that before & they'd obviously seen me. I've fitted one to both my alternator bikes.

An E mail from a happy Customer

Good morning Paul, I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with the yellow halogen bulbs that you posted to me last month. I commute from Surrey into Central London every day and I’ve found that they’re not only better at cutting through the mist and rain than the usual white bulbs but they stop me blending in to the white and xenon lights when I get into town and I get seen much more by other road users. Perfect. Really appreciate your advice.

Kind regards Anthony
