Got some new low beam bulbs.....



         



         
  Right side: remove the 3 10mm bolts and move the coolant overflow tank out of the way.



    
Right side: the low beam housing is right next to the fender. Twist off the weather cap, twist off the electrical connector,  unclip
the two bulb retainer arms (push in each arm so it can move outwards), pivot the retainer downwards and pull the bulb out.



         
I thought the old bulbs were "stock", but turns out they were Osram #66240 (35w, 6000K).

Quick test before putting the weather capsback on.




All done.



         
5500K low beams and 5700K fogs.



         
A few output shots at dusk.

Went for a quick drive to a local business with underground parking. It was well lit, but gave me what I needed to get a good visual on things.

Went for a drive last night to see how the new low beams perform, and I was very impressed. With the old bulbs, the low beams were terrible, so these bulbs are a great improvement.

Found a dark parking lot to show all the beam patterns as I cycle between fog, low beam, fog & low beam, and hi beam.
