GS500F Front headlight and little bulb?

[ajatt]

Hey guys I'm just trying to figure out what the small bulb is for below the main headlight bulb on our bikes, as the headlight bulb does both high and low beam whats the small bulb for just daytime light? and also has anyone actually replaced the small bulb with say an LED white bulb or something to that affect? I ask because the small bulb looks about the same size as the bulbs I recently pulled out of the instrument cluster under the meters, thanks. Below picture gives somewhat of an idea.

I believe it's the parking light

^^^^^ If you turn your key all the way to the left that light and your rear light will turn on.

Correct.
You can also replace it with an LED light (colored ones look pretty cool in there if it's bright enough) if you want. forget the size needed though.

I replaced mine with an LED when I changed my stock headlight with a HID, works perfect. You can get it for 5$, and while you are at it change the speedo and tachometer bulbs as well. I used the white ones for mine, loving them since.

Awesome I'm doing the same thing I've changed the speedo and tacho bulbs already what temp HID did you put in if I may ask?

Got the Xenon ones from Zaris Cycle. I believe they are 6000.
