FZRSupport: the FZROnline Archive

Bought this bike and the po had the headlights wired directly to the battery VIA a toggle switch. Need help locating the stock wiring on the bike, I don't even know if its still there, if it is I don't know what I'm looking for. Also, the headlights are single-filament bulbs. Did this bike have hi/low beams in the bulbs or was it low-1 headlight, high-2 headlights? It has an r1 body kit on it and I'm not even sure if the headlights are stock. It's a 1996 fzr 600.

Posting my own reply because my thread looks so lonely. Can't believe out of 15 people nobody has any answers....sigh.....

Yeah stock, the bulbs should be dual filament. A very common fault on the FZR is, a blue/black wire comes loose in the right hand switch gear, same applies to the left hand switch gear, I'd start there. Take a look at the wiring diagram, yeah I know it's from a single h/lamp 1991 but the H/lamp wiring is the same except for the additional h/lamp. Wiring Diagram <<< click that

I have a 1998 FZR 600 and there are dual filaments with hi/low beams on each bulb....

Ah wait... an R1 body kit so I guess you have R1 h/lamps. I'm not entirely sure but I think R1's have 1 h/lamp for low and 1 for hi, both h/lamps should be on when in the hi position.

Are the h/lamps HID's (High-intensity discharge)? if so thats why the PO wired them direct to the battery VIA a toggle switch. They should be wired VIA relays tho.

Idk if they are hid, it was the ppo that did the conversion. He wired the lights like that because the VR was shot and he was a moron. He kept it on a tender at night and rode without lights during the day. I think thats why he wired them directly to the battery. Problem is Idk what i have, if these are a couple cheap fog lights stuck in the front end or what.

of the h/lamps & bulbs, come on give us all a clue

I'll have to snap some tonight after I get home from work. They don't look like they fit in the fairing right....you'll see in a few hours.

Ok, here's what I got:

Those round lights are definitely not factory and are much smaller. The gap where the lights are housed is wide and not flush. You can pick up a used factory set and buy the blue hid bulbs if you want blue lights.

Figured. Finally think i found the stock connector, is it a blue 5 pin box connector?

That sounds right. You should have Green, Dark Green, Yellow, Black, and Blue, plus an empty spot.

Waking this thread back up because I'm pretty sure I can't use stock headlights. The bike has an r1 body kit from airtech and there is a much wider space between the lights. The openings are about 4 inches, the lights that are in the bike are fog lights meant for a car, I can only run one because they draw too much power. I searched eBay, Google and some other places for a universal 4 inch h4 round headlights but can't find anything. Anyone have sugestions?

for a 4" opening i found this .. it would have to be customized somehow to mount it im sure , but its a starting point .....
