Headlight : I've only ordered them online, but yeah I'd think a motorcycle shop would be your best bet. They're called B series or B type sometimes. BA20D base. 35W/35W is stock for the Triton. 45/45 works better.
Tail/Brake : It's been a while since I've used anything but LED assemblies on my Tritons, but I think they were 1157 tail/brake bulbs. You can get those at any auto parts store. Carry it in and match it up, cause I'm not 100% on that number.

I ordered some 35/35 bulbs like this one off eBay and they have a dead spot on high beam. I got a one long time ago from an independent MC shop specializing in KTM bikes. They use that type in the enduros. He made me wait two days and charged me $12 the crook.  |

So the beam has no dead spots? the 45/40 from Parts For Scooters has one right in the middle  If it has no dead spot in the middle im gonna order one of those 45/45s and compare it with a Xenon 35/35 |

Not that I recall. It's been a long time since I've used a 35 watter. I know the 45/45 and 60/60 seem wider, but that's probably just that they're bright enough to use the Triton's wide housing.

The more I think about it, one of the 35 or 45s had a weak spot. Wouldn't call it dead, but light didn't project as well there. It might have been the 35. Sorry, it's just been a while. I've spent more time on the scoots with different styles of lights or with the 60W in the last couple of years.

One thing to consider is the distance from the reflector can effect the focus and light pattern. Think of a mag light flashlight. The lens on any headlight is also responsible for where the light is going and can be effected by the placement of the bulb. So, length matters....

The bulbs I have are dead right in the center when you put them on high beam but only in certain headlights. They work great in others.
