I fitted some Osram Rallye 65W special service H7 headlight bulbs. Nice and fairly cheap improvement.
Those sound interesting. Do you have a vendor you can recommend?WJBertrand said:I fitted some Osram Rallye 65W special service H7 headlight bulbs. Nice and fairly cheap improvement.
The ONLY place I could find them was Candlepower, Inc. http://store.candlepower.com/osraulhiouh7.htmlmobyfubar said:Those sound interesting. Do you have a vendor you can recommend?
Wow, don't remember mine being that hard to locate. But! How fast do you think the harness will torch running the 80w H7? ::26::WJBertrand said:The ONLY place I could find them was Candlepower, Inc. http://store.candlepower.com/osraulhiouh7.html
That's what I was worried about so I sought out the 65w ones. I'm aware of some harness problems in the earlier model years, not sure what they did to solve it with the '15s but I didn't want to push it. The 80w seem to be easy to find though. Some the ebay and Amazon descriptions lead me to believe that Osram has upgraded the 65w ones to 80w which makes me wonder about future availability of the 65w unis. The amperage difference between the 65 and 55w OEM bulbs is down to ~ 1.5A assuming the system is running at least 14V. Mine shows 14.1V, with the heated jacket on full blast up to 14.6, so actual amperage should be a bit less still. I can't imagine that would cause a problem.Don in Lodi said:Wow, don't remember mine being that hard to locate. But! How fast do you think the harness will torch running the 80w H7? ::26::
Thanks, that was all I found too but I'd never heard of them before. Sounds like they're legit though.WJBertrand said:The ONLY place I could find them was Candlepower, Inc. http://store.candlepower.com/osraulhiouh7.html
I saw this thread a week or so ago and tried to get the 65w but impossible to find for sale searching Google in UKmobyfubar said:Thanks, that was all I found too but I'd never heard of them before. Sounds like they're legit though.
I agree, I'm more comfortable going to 65W than 80W.
What tune did you use?iClint said:I flashed my Gen2 S10, and i am very pleased with the results much more power right off idle. what a pain in the arse it is to get to the ECU though.

The bike is more responsive, the on-off-on transition is smoother due to the injector deceleration cut being disabled.WJBertrand said:Thanks for the detailed reply. I'm mostly interested in smoothing the on/off throttle response. How was the improvement there? A place close to me called Jet tuning does the flash tune for $200 and I'm considering it. Also any effect on gas mileage?
