Hi the headlights on my S3 running XB projector head light units are beginning to dim and are now nearly useless for on road night riding.
I understand this has been a problem for many XB riders of the firebolt.
Has anyone got a solution (Have Buell recalled or updated these) or has anyone found a suitable non-oem replacement .
Any help appreciated.

For the least amount of money as compared to most any replacement headlight unit, I'd get Buell's latest updated light assemblies. The long-standing problem with the projector's reflector degrading has apparently been solved.

Buell does have a safety campaign for stock XB headlights in effect for certain models, but since your's is not stock, you're probably on your own. Try calling Buell Customer Service and see what they say, though.
