replacement bulbs-headlights

[yukondood]

Fall is coming in the "Land of the Midnight Sun" and now realize the need for some dusk/night vision. Anyone swap out oem headlight bulbs with any other bulbs that improve lighting. May look at mounting some driving lights but would prefer to find a more powerful bulb.

Thanks in advance.

I picked up two PIAA H7 bulbs from Amazon and I noticed a big difference over stock OEM bulbs.

Same question for a brighter/whiter headlight bulb replacement for a 2014-2015 Tenere H7 bulb? -JEP-

Call Darryl at Cyclops lights, He'll hook you up w/ LED's that will melt your retnas ;-)

Thanks. I saw that article. I'm not to crazy about hooking up fans or leaving the backs off of the lights.
I'm just hoping to find a simple brighter/whiter light to replace the existing bulb.
I used Sylvania Silver Stars (H4) on my Explorer and they did the trick.
I see they are available in a single filament bulb but not certain that will work. -JEP-

Osram night breaker unlimited h7

I'm impressed with them.

the sylvanias work great in a h7, available at all good auto parts stores

 

[RIDEMYST]

Thanks guys, I'll take a look at these. Are they both single filament bulbs? -JEP-

Yes, H7 is a single filament bulb. The H7 is what fits our bike. Even all the other types of bulb have to have an H7 base to fit our bike. The Sylvanias didn't survive a year, seems they have a fear of vibration.

Thanks again for the info everyone.
This is what makes this forum so good! -JEP-

I'll try the Osram Night Breakers. They are recommended by many.

FYI: Darryl at Cyclops borrowed one of my light covers to send to his CAD guy so a larger cover can be designed to fit over the fans. He tried once already but didn't like the first design. I'll let y'all know what comes of it.

I checked out the site and there are a few different types, what works best?

I've been using Morimoto Elite HIDs for a couple of years now. Not only do they turn night into day but because of the shutter system they are also very well focused on low beam, completely inoffensive to oncoming traffic. And on high beam they are simply amazing...

I bought the 5,000K XB35s....

twinrider, I looked them up but don't see the standard H4 base? I see wires coming out of the base, what gives?

TIA

I ran the silverstars at the tune of $40 and they lasted 3 months, sheeesh. I installed the DDM tuning hid kit this winter for the tune of, get this...$40. Sometimes I can be a real knucklehead... :-[ Loving the DDM tuning kit, easy install and very nice improvement.

 

[RIDEMYST]

I picked up a set of Silver Star Ultra's....they look great!
If they crap out like I see many are saying, then I'll try the Osrams. -JEP-

Sorry, my mistake. I should have posted the H7 link, 5000K, XB35.
