Firebolt headlight recall

Buellxb Forum

Help Support Buellxb Forum:

By recall lights do you mean the old lights that were recalled, or the newer replacement ones? Which have the circles?

original lights say "made in Italy" on them

recall lights say made in P.R.C. on them
(Peoples Republic of China for those that don't know)
 
Someone on another forum told me the replacements were identical to the originals, no better and no worse, therefore it was only a temporary fix...
 
From people that have been using the new ones for a while now they sound like they work though. Seems silly that Buell would recall a part and replace it with the same thing.

Maybe the person that said that ordered the old lights by accident? As mentioned above the new ones have rings and I've also read that the new ones have a different interior pattern so they must be a little different and not identical (I could be way off though, I'm still trying to gather the ino).
 
As in find some other lights to use. The guy on another forum showed me some ill post them later. I'm trying to repair my broken laptop right now and still cirrentlybising the wife's kindle. Hopefully ill have the laptop op and running soon.
 
Uhg, I hate using tablets for the internet. It takes so much longer to do just about anything on them.

When you get the chance I'd like to see these lights. I need to upgrade ASAP
 
I got it fixed :). Not bad for someone who doesn't know jack about computers lol. Geek squad quoted me $250-$1000 dollars to fix my 2005 model laptop. I fixed it for $5.15 and about 3-4 hours.

Anyway, here's what the other guy sent me. He said it takes some modifying the bracket to get it to fit, but it works.

Someone on Badweb was working on the hella lights, I don't remember if he got them done or not.

General consensus I've seen is that the recall lights really only last a couple years longer then have the same problems.
 
It wasn't actually a recall, it was something like a "customer satisfaction campaign". It expired in 2010 so you can't get it done anymore. I tried last week.
 
I asked the guy to post pics for me, he hasn't yet. He said it's his daily ride and he's busy right now, but said he would post them eventually. I'll follow up on here if he gets me pictures.
 
For what it's worth on this, you can sometimes find the headlight housings on evilbay. Found a set from Harley still sealed for my 05 and just swapped them myself.
