Honda Spree and Elite 50 Forums

Hi folks,
Looking to replace my headlight unit on my 1982 Honda MB5. I have been blowing headlights about twice a year. I would like to move to an LED light or light bar. Just wondering if anyone has done this and what they purchased. I have seen the LED bulb inserted into a bored-out headlight, but I was hoping to find other options out there. Thank you for your suggestions/thoughts/solutions!

Says it has a removable bulb-they have these bulbs also https://www.treatland.tv/rare-MB5-bulb- ... 35-35w.htm

Greetings:

So what's up with MB5s blowing so many headlamps? 5-speed over-rev and a faulty voltage regulator?

Not sure why I'm not getting notifications about replies. I'll have to check my settings.Thus far, I have not blown the new bulb. We'll see what happens. I did a fair amount of research, and a number of sites said that a dead battery can cause this issue. I went to battery warehouse, spent $35 on a new battery and we'll see what happens from here.
Also, I've been looking at headlights. I'm thinking I may be able to buy a sealed 6.5-inch unit from Amazon and try it out. Looks like it could be a possible fit for the MB5.
