Can anyone please tell me what the best headlight would be to replace my stock headlights on my '02 Kat? I've searched and found info for pre-98, but nothing later. Can you also tell me what wattage bulb I need please? I'm looking for my damn manual now Sorry for the stupid question, but any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.

You may also want to read my webpage on what it will take to be able to run significantly stronger bulbs (say 130/100 watt rally bulbs) in your headlights:

Other thoughts:
You can add additional lights as well, such as fork-mounted driving beams. I'm working on carrying true HID-based self-contained driving lights of this type for fork mounting.

In high-beam mode, they will draw almost double what the wiring is rated for, which will either cause you to start blowing fuses (no headlights -- sucks if it happens at night) or cause the wiring to the headlights to fry (ask Sin about his electrical fire from this same thing).
The only way to safely keep them is to run fresh wiring to upgrade the existing wires all the way through the system, or to run new, thicker wires slaved into a relay.
