OEM Light Bar

[Tamaki F]

I have a C-50 with the Lehman Trike conversion. I love the trike but I have coupleof issues with the "bike" end of it. First, the OEM light bar keeps blowing bulbs, not too frequently, but often enough to be annoying. My dealer said Suzuki's OEM bar has a very poor grounding system. He suggested I reground, or better, put a new ground on the bar. Second, I have a problem with the bulb itself. Where can I get an American made bulb that fits? The Jap ones seem so shoddy in quality, but my dealer seems to be the only one to even have the correct bulb for the OEM. Third, are there any lowers out there that will work on the C-50 with the OEM light bar? Any advice would be appreciated.

There was a service notice on grounding the Light Bar.

Lots have replaced the OEM bulb with 4411 bulbs, requires changing connectors.
Lots have switched to a Honda bulb, I just replaced mine with Honda this season.
Also check in the headlight housing (If you hooked up to Aux. socket),
your connection may be shorting out on the housing.
You can tell by black marks on the housing.

Yep replace the bulbs with the 4411s and you will be alot better off.

Thanks for the advice. I will get the 4411's this afternoon.

I had the same problem, bulbs were constantly blowing out. I replaced them with the 4411's two years ago and have had no problem since. Note that you will have to do a little bit of wire-stripping and maybe soldering, but it's definitely worth it.
