Small Headlight for T500

[johnu]

I am looking for the smallest headlight I can get for my t500 Suzuki.  The headlight will only be on the bike to make it street legal, no night time riding.  I would ideally like a round light that is modern looking and cheap!  I can handle the mountings so that is not an issue.  Any suggestions?  Bike pic below.

do you care what it looks like besides being round? The only thing that i can think of is to pick up some cheap fog lights and only run one of them. They are usually fairly small and easy to mount.. Nice bike btw. looks pretty compact

Get a cheap single lamp HID with angel eyes or devil eyes for around $65.  They have a mechanical shutter to flip between main and dip and are a small package. The only issue may be hiding the small ballast and making it weatherproof. Search for Bi-xenon lights.

Here's one http://www.ebay.com/itm/HONDA-CBR1000RR-04-07-HID-BI-XENON-MOTORCYCLE-PROJECTOR-LEN-KIT-H1-H4-H7-8000K-/110860771297?pt=Motorcycles_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19cfd11fe1&vxp=mtr

Do you plan on leaving the front end open or using a "number plate"/mini cowling? 

You could also grab a projector lamp from almost any modern car and just fit a single filament bulb if you don't care about dip & main beams.

Wow... That is a rad bike. +1 on the foglight. Any auto parts store sells small 35w 3" lights.

Ok great thanks.  The units on ebay look really good, I will check out the fog light option too.

Teaser, at this point I am undecided on whether to run a "number plate".  I like the look of a number plate but only if it has no headlight in it.  I will mock something up when I get the headlight and then decide.

Just out of curiosity, those projectors from ebay must not be DOT approved?
'Cause those are a hell of a deal.haha

OP: Bike looks awesome.

I like Projector headlights for a small light....if that helps.

But these are mean looking

Thanks!  I'm not too concerned about the DOT deal.  Most likely i'll be using a fog light from Autozone.

I think that'll be the best idea. Cheap and easy.

thinking about using two lights now so maybe these would work?

Dude, did you check down at the auto store? You're going to pay an arm and a leg for shipping when you can pick them up yourself..
