I noticed awhile back there is a city light socket inside the headlight housing. I pulled it out from the back of the headlight and put a bulb in it. Its hard to see when the headlight is on but if you turn your key to parking light you will see it...heres the pic

I put a LED light in mine that changed color about every five seconds. Everyone always asks about it at bike nights.

What is a "city light socket" I can't tell from your photo. Do you have a daylight pic. of the inside, and where is it?
Thanks.

Not only that, but you can turn it on and take the keys out and with you.

I do it occasionally in dark parking lots on fri / sat nights (high DUI possibility) when I am running into a store for something. I am hoping it will keep some idiot with 4 beers in them from whipping into an "empty" parking place and driving over my bike.

I'm gonna have to look for a blue LED to put in there, that would be VERY cool looking on a 9sx.

That is why I was asking. I already have a bunch of blue leds on the bike. Would be nice to have the headlamps with a blue tint too.

Once the headlights go on, the color of the running light will completely dissapear. But while just the parking light is on it will look very cool.

Tank, you basically have to take the flyscreen off and take off the headlight assembly. Makes things mucho easier. If you have a manual just follow the instructions for headlight bulb replacement. All in all about a half hours work...Odie
