81 xs400 Headlamp Replacement

[Siouxx]

I'm tired of having to track down sealed beam headlights when mine burns out. I want to replace the headlight unit, but I'm not sure what fits.

I've found this. https://www.dimecitycycles.com/6-1-4-inch-gloss-black-h4-headlight-assembly.html#customer-reviews

The only issue I'm seeing right now is the possibility that the wires to the plug are in the wrong positions, but that's an easy fix.

The bike is a 1981 XS400s. Stock wiring in the headlamp currently.

Not super helpful as the replacements used are all out of stock/no longer in production.

There are some available on ebay internationally.
Search for part # 66-64317
Not bad pricing.

I just bought a headlight off ebay it was the last one but does work......its an 1/8th" smaller but looks decent in the bucket.
