OH CRAP! I had no idea. It must've gotten thrown out with the old bulb last week. I KNEW I SHOULD'VE HELD ONTO IT UNTIL I GOT THE NEW BULB INSTALLED. What kind of engineering bull crap is this-let's use a common bulb but lets make a completely different plug for it!!!!?

And what a deal, Kawasaki only wants $65 for a new one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is there another bulb I can buy that will fit without that adapter?
Or does anyone have an extra adapter lying around?

What's the H4 setup?

I found that the common blade connectors actually fit the prongs on the H7 bulb. At first look the prongs looked too big, but nope-they slide right on. I made some leads about 6" long and was able to shore the bulb up against the metal clip by using some foam window adhesive stickon stuff. Now you can't even tell once you get the rubber plunger on over it all.
