Whoa dude. Punctuation, c'mon.

A 7" sealed beam is a quick and cheap replacement.

You CAN use an automotive "composite" halogen unit, but I would recommend against it. If you're going to upgrade to a halogen, get a motorcycle reflector unit and do it right. It doesn't need to be expensive, and I'm sure there might be one or two motorcycle shops in your area...

On the 550s, the headlight comes on when the motor starts; if it's coming on before that you probably have a ""stuck" headlight relay.

 

Spade, I gots a dinky Virago headlight sitting on the shelf. I don't know the size other than it is smaller than my 7" Maxim. Interested?
