Replacement Bulbs

jarhead · 05-01-2008, 06:13 PM

Anyone replace the halogen bulbs in the new F&S light bar with the PIAA extreme white light bulbs? Their 35w halogens are supposed to emit the same white light as a 70 watt bulb. They also have a 60/55 H4 headlight bulb that is supposed to emit 110/100watts. That might be a little too much for oncoming traffic. Just curious if anyone else has ever tried the PIAA's.

I run a E-4 in a non Nad bike in 110/100watts. That bulb is for a snow mobile, and technicly illegal, but I like to see where I am going. I spent a good deal of time aimming it, and no on coming traffic have any problems, and no one ever hits me with their hi's to bitch.

I have never messed about with the lamps you are thinking of, but that 110/100watts is great for at night.

That same bike has (2) 35 watt E-3 lamps as well, but the charging system needs to be 'managed' to run them. A Nad will run them with out a blink...

I found this site that kinda debunks the PIAA claims of blue light equals better visibility. Interesting stuff but hard for me to tell who is right.
