Lights
Since I was underwhelmed with the stock lighting I purchased a 1x 2014 High Power 30W Xenon White H4 9003 HB2 XM-L2 CREE LED Hi/Lo Motorcycle Headlight Bulb.
While it is a whiter ( slight blue tint ) bulb I really cannot see any better with this one. I need something to help these tired old eyes. Any recommendations ? .. Login or Register to Remove Ads |

I used the Osram Silverstar and was very pleased with the results, I found them on Amazon. Very good quality and never had any problems. The dim light was more than satisfactory and when the bright light was in use there was no question about seeing at night.
Do not get confused with the Osram Sylvania because it is a lower quality bulb and will not last nearly as long. It appears Sylvania sub contracts the bulb from Osram and it is often found in auto parts stores. The other version is the Osram Night Breaker and also has a good following. Definitely good lights and your eyes will appreciate it.
