Default gsxr600 headlight on a gsxr750???

I crashed lately and now I need to change my headlight, Everywhere I look, people are saying a gsxr 600 headlight will fit on a 750......I compared them and saw that they look exactly alike, but the 600 headlight has 2 prong connects as to the 750 3. Would I just need to get 2 prong bulbs and not use the 3rd prong connection on the connector? Help!

How about contacting a Suzuki dealer who should know for sure

A two prong bulb is a single filament bulb, and a three prong bulb is a dual filament bulb. There must be some significant difference in the lighting layout for them to have this difference.

Okay...I just found out that an GSXR600 Headlight will fit as far as "mounting" However you would have to modify the electrical harness to recieve two prong connectors and you would have to roll with the "popeye" look- with one headlight out unless you roll with the highbeams on all day...I think I'm just gonna exchange it! Thanks everyone!!

For Future References....Headlight will Mount, but you would definately have to modify the electrical harness to recieve two prong connectors.

Most of us run the highbeams all day for safety anyway.
