just a follow up...

after a while i started having some occasional buzzing because the tab you use to attach the QT ring to the bucket is sticks out enough to rub the unused tab and some of the ring on the new light. simply bending the tab on the light isnt quite enough to take care of it. so i took a dremmel to the new light and eyballed it and cut away everything that looked like it might hit, and no more buzz. If you look at the middle pic above you can see both tabs and how they might hit.

after 100 or so miles, much of it offroad, its still working perfectly. i installed a second one in my QT with a battery in it and its also working perfect.

Hello
I have a 1979 QT. and I did burn out a light. And Yes it did cost $45.00 I don't know why it burned out. I checked the conections, maybe something wiggled and unpluged. So I'm going to try your quik fix.
What I am wondering will the twelve volt light affect the coil? Will the light burn the coil out? When the light burned out I think the tail light also burned out too. How often do you change the spark plug? What type plug do you use?

ha thats too funny when i picked up my 1979 red qt50 from miami, i started right up after 15 years of sitting! which is crazy the headlight got real bright then blew out and a few minutes later the tail light also blew out x.x

they burn cause the battery is bad/weak/missing. post '82 models have a voltage regulator in the circuit which seems to be there to prevent this. i use stock plug and change it once a year.

Help! I was excited when I read your site but they don't ship to canada and when I called a local honda dealer they quoted me $90 for the assembly.

Where can I get one for $20 (plus exchange of course).

Glad to hear there is at least an option.

Oh, and now they tell me the headlight has been discontinued so I'm out of luck.

Too bad.
