#1011674 adamp (User) Garage Gold Platinum Boarder Posts: 1396 Re:Lightbar options 9 Months, 1 Week ago   The original bar passing lamps aren't sealed beam? I thought my bike had the oem light bar and my passing lights don't allow me to change bulbs, they are built in permanently it seems. I wanted to switch to led to match my headlight.   Logged     Last Edit: 2017/05/25 11:46 By adamp.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1011687 RSOkie (User) A man's got to do, what a man's got to do--JW Senior Boarder Posts: 251 Re:Lightbar options 9 Months, 1 Week ago   The ones I ordered are the ones that BigRigme Chris recommended to me Truck-Lite (80275) LED Auxiliary Lamp, Truck-Lite (27270C) Headlamp the passing lights will have to be ship if you have and late model jobs askbob11 wrote: RSOkie wrote: Yamaha motorsports plaza in Oregon has the light bar STR-5VN35-40-00 for 187.46 and the light kit : STR-4NK35-10-01 136.49 hopefully this will help you.

If you can't change the bulb inside the light housing then by definition it's sealed beam. I think the internet uses the term indiscriminately and gets itself easily confused. I've seen the tri-bar style lights described as sealed beam but they are not, the bulbs can be changed. (They're so not sealed that those of using them have had to water seal them a little.)

They are fantastic, no modification to the stock factory light bar or housing nor to the headlight housing mount (just did these LED's on my 2000 RSS). Also the factory passing lights are 4.5" (not 4" and the headlight is 7". Pretty much plug and play. You will have to add bullet connectors to the LED passing lights so they connect to the OE connections inside the passing light housing....other than that super easy. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KHMD4WG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Heck of a deal! I have already purchased the Truck Lite though. Having used them on other things, I really like them.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1011861 askbob11 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 14 Re:Lightbar options 9 Months ago   These appear to be the older sealed beam type that are reported to work with the Truck Lite 4 1/2" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000QGCLFU/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I1EERJE0CG59AJ&colid=3TO6MTSBR3SNS   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1011972 RSOkie (User) A man's got to do, what a man's got to do--JW Senior Boarder Posts: 251 Re:Lightbar options 9 Months ago   That is the old style. The new style with single screw in the bottom will not work as the bucket mount nut will not let the 80275 light sit in the bucket if that makes since. waiting fordark to ops check the headlight. used the garage to set it it is bright even in daylight hours askbob11 wrote: These appear to be the older sealed beam type that are reported to work with the Truck Lite 4 1/2" https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000QGCLFU/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I1EERJE0CG59AJ&colid=3TO6MTSBR3SNS   Logged     Last Edit: 2017/05/27 20:09 By RSOkie.   Trigger by Buck Buchanan, on Flickr Patriot Guard Rider, Air force Veteran,   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1012176 askbob11 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 14 Re:Lightbar options 9 Months ago   Excellent! I greatly appreciate all the input! I'll post pics of fitment and/or start a thread just for that combination.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1012186 Nocolorbrother (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 321 Re:Lightbar options 9 Months ago   These 4 1/2 lights will not work on OEM light bar. The bulb is too small for the bucket trim and the bottom nut in the bucket will not allow the bulb to fit. I also had to grind away some of the headlight to properly fit. Someone on here and someone in the reviews on Amazon said that the are plug and play for the Road Star. That is not true! Since I had to modify the headlight now I am stuck with these passing lights that do not fit. Don't believe everything you read Huh? https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01KHMD4WG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1   Logged     Last Edit: 2017/05/30 11:25 By Nocolorbrother.     The administrator has disabled public write access. #1012210 Seal_Bch_Tom (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 370 Re:Lightbar options 9 Months ago   Here is my light bar....pretty sure it's OE for a 2000 RSS. I did no modifications to get the lights into the housings. Nocolor brother....one of us has a NON-OE light bar.   Logged     http://roadstarclinic.com/images/comprofiler/4594_5930dea076224.jpg   The administrator has disabled public write access. #1012234 Nocolorbrother (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 321 Re:Lightbar options 9 Months ago   I looked at your pic of the lights. They look the same as mine. I replaced the passing lights because of rusting, I bought them from Yamaha. They must be a little different in design. Does yours have the tall nut inside the passing light bucket? The old light bulbs are 4 3/4 and the new one are 4 1/2. This is what a bought. Can't find any dimensions. http://www.yamahastarparts.com/oemparts/p/yamaha/str-4nk35-10-01/-passing-lamp-pair   Logged     Last Edit: 2017/05/30 17:07 By Nocolorbrother.     The administrator has disabled public write access.
