Full Version: upgrade head lights?

Can anybody suggest a replacement bulb or some add-on lights? My 2014 CB1100DX head light sucks! It's ok at night on the freeways and well lit roads, but when traveling in countryside or in desert I can't see wtf is out beyond 50 feet ... NOT SAFE.
I replaced the OEM halogen with a [url=https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005KDO9C2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1]SYLVANIA 9003 (also fits H4) SilverStar zXe headlight bulb a couple of years back. They are whiter (higher color temperature) and brighter.

Bought a PIAA H4 XTreme White Plus bulb ($50) from Cycle Gear. Will check out performance tonight.
So PIAA H4 XTreme is brighter, but the bigger issue was that my headlight was aligned incorrectly. I used Django's alignment measurements and my beam pointed at a 15" mark off the ground instead of the target 35" mark of the ground. Loosened two allens and reset to correct 35" mark. All is much better now Smile May still look into adding external led lights for when I tour. Thanks to all my CB1100 brothers and sisters for you knowledge.
