T500M Head Light

Are headlight bulbs still available for the 1975 T500M's? Will a head light from another model fit?

Does anyone have a recommendation for a replacement if the stockers are not available?

Recently a bud of mine was having a hard time finding a replacement for 73 DT250 Yamaha that is a rather odd size, he found one at the local NAPA store believe it or not. Might be worth a try taking yours in and see if they can match something up, couldn't hurt.

they are all interchangeable on the T/GT500. uses the same bulb.

Thanks for the tip but, in this case it won't work. My late '60's and 70's Honda's will take a sealed beam auto head light but not the T500. It uses a a proprietry head light that has the brackets to mount to the shell as part of the assembly. I found out the hard way that you can not remove the bulb itself for replacement either.
