Bulbs are bulbs. If I'm not mistaking the S uses a H7. You can pick these up at nearly any auto parts store. My 9 uses two bulbs. I'm actually changing mine when I get it back from having the rear tire replaced. If you change them DO NOT touch the glass on the new bulbs. This help at all?

i picked mine up at an import bike shop. just under 20 bones. i like the blue tinted ones.
when you change them, mark the headlight assy mounts, so you can help your self re-set the beam height. ya know, kinda like marking the hood hinges before taking it off a car...are ya pickin' up what i'm layin' down?
