Headlight Bulb?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: Biglmbass---------------------

I'm in need of a headlight bulb for a '98 KDX. After searching this forum for 'headlight' I realize a few options exist for a bulb.
Questions...
1. Can anyone tell me from experience if a Dennis Kirk bulb will work? From their catalog, the closest replacement looks to be part number 22-295 for $2.99 (page number 480 in catalog). This is a 35 watt bulb but surely it will work???
2. In my search I recall someone mentioning a John Deere bulb would work. Can anyone advise a part number for this bulb?
Any help is appreciated.

After my own search for a replacement lightbulb, here is what I came up with (the bulb part number / wattage on my 2002 220 is 92069-1080 12V 30/30W):

1) The dealer's price is outrageous. $24!

2) Dennis Kirk's sales department could not find a KDX replacement bulb for me. I could not conclusively determine the right one after searching through their web site.

3) I tried a few of those "black market" 1-800 parts distributors listed in the back of magagines. They could not get one for me.

4) Sage (here on DRN) says that he can get one from his local John Deere dealer (Washington I believe). I tried my local Deere dealer (a large commerical one), and they could not match it up to anything they had.

5) I tried searching a number of web sites that sell bulbs online. No luck.

6) I finally called Fredette, and he sent me one for $9. www.frpoffroad.com

What should be an inexpensive and easily available replacement part is neither. If all Kawi parts are like this, I hope I never have to replace anything else!

Are there any Kawasaki reps that can comment on this???

Let us know if you do get it and it does work!

I rember hearing (actually reading) that there is a Yamaha bulb that will work. Not sure out of what though, I'll see if I can find the post I saw it in.
