[QUOTE="YZMAN400, post: 849744, member: 49098"] Inca, If you end up buying an Acerbis headlight, be it the Blitz that I have or one of the 2 other styles that they have now, keep in mind that at least the Blitz comes with (2) 35 watt bulbs stock. But any home lighting store can get you the 50 watt bulbs for it as they are just 12v low voltage MR-16 bulbs. You can get higher wattage bulbs than that, like 75 watt. But I dont know If I would go higher cause of the extra heat of the bulb may melt the housing. I called Acerbis and they said that the Blitz is rated up to 50 watt bulbs. But you never know it may take more. You said you have a 160 watt coil in there. Maybe a 75 watt bulb and a 50 watt bulb would be the ticket. Here is a few links to the diff Acerbis lights that you may want to check out.

Acerbis replacment wires were outragesly priced. Again I went to a home lighting store and bought replacment wires both of which were still 1/2 what acerbis wanted for one. They were also way better than the Acerbis ones. Much heavier guage wire. If you replace the bulbs to the 50 watters get one of them as a wide beam like 35deg. And the other as a narrow beam like 10 deg. That will give you the best coverage overall. If you end up getting a blitz I may have a few 50 watt bulbs laying around that you can have to get you started. But the are all wide beam. I want to put a narrow beam in the bottom position of my Blitz and the wide at top. That way the wide beam beeing higher up may clear the fender and get the light down low better. Oh and I also did a little custom grinding on the plastic brackets to slot the mounting holes. That way I could get the light pointing down a bit more. [/QUOTE]
