This is more than just a change of bulbs but it works very well. Had I known how well it worked I would not of had AUX lights put on my SG.

Dual Bulb Halogen Headlamp Kit

Also there is the option of doing the high beam aux mod.

I took a chance on this deal at EBay. Not installed yet but expecting a nice improvement. PIAA Super Plasma bulbs.

I recommend looking at the Trucklite brand LEDs. They are a lot less expensive than the HD brand and have better output IMO.

You can judge for yourself, read this write up.


https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...hd-and-tl.html

After reading this I had a set put on at Daytona Bike week and the next night I rode home on a back country road that was pitch black and they confirmed my decision.

Trucklite also makes LED lights for the military and I have used them in Iraq and Afghanistan and they are great products.

I dropped in the Ultrabright Silverstar and adjusted
the beam up for more of a straight out beam, and
am happy with it as all riders tell me they know it
is me by my headlights and I get flashed by cages
to dim them at night. They get a surprise when they
find out they were on "DIM" to begin with.

With that said, I am considering a LED headlight
and driving light combination also.

Search the LED threads. There are a couple of pics of a SG (orange I think) with the LED that has the black housing. Very cool on that bike.

I put the HD LEDs on my Ultra Classic, both the head lamp AND the aux lights and they made a HUGE difference.
