Headlight bulbs

[Randy B]

I am a firm believer that brighter is better when it comes to moto headlights. The easier it is for dummies (those not REALLY paying attention to what they are SUPPOSED to be doing) to see us....the better.

I had replaced the bulb in my 93 Nighthawk and it was a winner for sure and I was hoping that with the decision to purchase this new bike that it would use the same bulb so I could just swap it over....it does.

So these are what I picked up and they are WELL worth it.

This is a pic of mine and PowderToastMan's bike next to each other. I think because it's still daylight you can't really see it all that well, but mine is on the right, and believe me it's brighter.


I have the spare in the garage if/when this one dies. Also I just can't advocate those HID swap kits. The HID bulbs generate light differently and the light source just is not in the correct location within the housing and thus the light gets scattered all over the place and the result is you blind everyone coming at you and don't increase your vision at all. It seems like you do because you end up lighting up the ground right in front of you, but that's about it.
