Does anyone have a good headlight bulb from mid 80's for a Honda Magna VF500,750,1100 which will be close to the rectangular size of 7" x 5".
I want to fit this 'Motorcycle Specific' H4 headlight bulb into my Vetter Quicksilver fairing.
I have an automotive-style bulb in there now,doesn't give me any light at night.
75' CB400F/'bunch o' parts' & 81' CB125S modded to a 'CB200S'
  I love the small ones too !

John,member here Kelly E helped me to recognize a certain bulb which he has in his CB1100F and it also comes in other Honda's as OEM standard equipment : Stanley #001-1843,that's the one I want.
The lamp assm. is motorcycle specific and will fit the 7x5" headlight mounting 'bucket' in my Quicksilver.
I see a couple of them on Ebay,although finding some of them and noticing the poor condition of the back of the reflector:the coating over the back seems scratched/rusty and that will degrade the nice,reflective mirror surface inside.
I'll keep looking on Ebay.. and choosing/watching certain ones until I can afford to purchase.
I have a small(helpful)income once a month and I spend most of it on used motorcycle parts on Ebay every month;been doing that for years  :D.
I then figure out how to survive the rest of the month  ::).

A member here Alan F. found me an NOS bulb on ebay and it's nice  :) for a good price;it's missing the round twist-type bulb holder on the back(#33114-MC5-003;nla)and the rubber boot so I'm searching for those.  Thanks Alan.
