    Hi All, new owner here.. 1988 FZR250. I can not identify the headlight bulbs? Only markings are:
    Halogen PEACE 12v35/35... The headlight glass is marked Koito 3H48. I always replace my headlight bulbs with Cyclops LED units and shelf the originals. Can anybody tell me what the
    bulb is? As in H4 (not ) etc...

    Does it have the PH6E bulb like this ?
    If so you can cut the large ring off your original bulb and solder it to a new one
    Otherwise you'll need to find or make an adapter to suit the new led replacement

    Can not find a listing for the original bulb anywhere? Are they available anywhere?

    Do you have the dimensions of the original bulbs' base ?

    Might be able to use a P45T adapter and run H4's if you modify it or trim it down ?
