Headlight replacement

Cabreco
I'm back on my HID wagon and based on previous discussions, it was determined that projector would be best. This being the case I found this unit.


Will any of these 7" aftermarket car headlights fit the CB750 bucket & trim ring?

They should. The CB's used a regular 7 inch car headlamp.

I am interested in what you come up with as well.

I understand that for a HID you should us focused glass. I have not been able to find one yet.

I got lucky, the CB i bought came with a headlamp that uses an H3 non sealed beam lamp. The lens is clear, and the reflector is faceted, though I'm not sure if it's a cheap one that is faceted for looks, or a good one that focuses. I have yet to ride it at night…until the carbs are back on and the wiring is done! It's not HID though. The one you posted looks great.

My ride has a koito bucket and lens. I put an hid in this spring and it works very well. Never had anyone flash me at all, day or night. Or police pull me over. A projector might be best but a good lens will suffice too.
The ride IS the adventure. The destination is just to get gas!
