I have tried to replace bulb but I can not get them back in place inside speedo.  It does not seem to fit right with the rubber that is on them and I would also like to ask for any sites to find parts or mods at thanks for everything.

For the H/L, Silvania Silverstars work great.  I replaced mine with the standard wattage and it makes a huge difference.  Others have gone brighter, too.  

Sites?  There a bunch.  There isn't too much B4-specific stuff out there anymore, though.  For just general parts and accessories, I like the Dennis Kirk catalog.  Their web page  (http://www.denniskirk.com)is a mess, though.  Being the antisocial guy that I am, I find what I want in their catalog and then order it online so I don't have to talk to anyone.

I got my tail light apart and the bulb was fine it just had that little ground wire broke off so i fixed that but the thing will not light up when i apply brakes just burns all the time now.  I also got my headlight apart and realized that some nut has replaced it with some sealed unit that I can not change bulbs in, any suggestions for a redo of that and anything else I am a thirst for knowledge about my 400 as i am so new to all of this.
