My TMEC's headlight bulb was an anomaly...I ordered a few from the distributor in Chino, Cal. Excalibur Motorsports when my old bike's bulb blew--no one around Yuma had them. Their site is
www.atv4usa.com It looks like it might be the same bulb?
However, I would think you want to blind drivers, especially in the L.A. area. All the collection of 3rd world countries' immigrants gathered in one metropolitan area unleashed on the streets need a good blinding--that's the only way they see you!! Drive with your brights on with pride!!! Plus, like I told you, I personally know a SM cop...
