Melted Headlamp

Hi Darren,

Unfortunately you can't buy the lens, it's a full unit only for about £360 per headlight from triumph.
I bought a set from eBay for about £180 at the time, then invested in a unit that switches the headlights off, this also can be found on eBay.

 

Headlights on those are crap matey, mine and a friends bike had this problem with the same model bike.

Another thing before you buy second hand check with triumph UK as I'm sure they had a recall on those headlights.

Fingers x'd you may get those for free.

 

Totally agree.

Has this happened with the original bulbs fitted ? I've heard this can happen with a powerful bulb upgrade.

 

Perhaps not if you're using a non-standard bulb that heats beyond the design and ran the bike too long stationery and therefore without air cooling.

PM me the last six digits of your vin number and I'll check whether there has been a recall.

 

btw, why did you need to replace the bulb with only 3k on the clock?

 

Cheers for that. Good luck with the recall thing.

I'm back at work on Wednesday. PM me a reminder then.

Darren in a previous thread, newbies hangout, you said you’ve fitted brighter bulbs

That could be the extra heat source thats caused your problem.

 

How do you get along with the headlight switch, is it the square deals one?

 

Hi sprinter

Yes it was the one from square deals it was easy to fit and it worked great, highly recommend.
Think it cost about 40 quid but could potentially save a massive payout for something you shouldn't have to worry about anyway.
