Storm 250 headlight bulb blown
I'll take a lazy stab at this.
Are these bulbs all similar or chinese specific or anything. I've the thing off a few times to fiddle with the speedo, but not taken the bulb out yet. It seems to be a large blob, larger than most i have seen. The High beam blew the other night. So I need a replacement. At work right now and wanted to order. I guess it can wait.. lol you know how it is though.

On my old TMEC, it was difficult to find them locally--had to order from the TMEC distributor, Excalibur. Not sure if it is the same bulb, but you could try them www.atv4usa.com Do you have a photo to post?

Spud is the Man; he can definitely guide you towards either an OEM replacement, or a couple of upgrade options. He has tons of headlight experience.

I just got home from a 2-day ride to Grand Teton National Park. I'm guessing your bike might employ the BA20D bulb. Does the bulb look like this one?

If the LED bulb will fit in the headlight shroud, it's an excellent choice. If it won't fit, BA20D bulbs are sold on eBay, and at many scooter shops.

BA20D 35/35W is the "de facto" standard in Chinese bike.
