They have a good bright and white light output. Lifespan is on the shorter side, my last one went a little over 14,000 miles.

I just bought a Silverstar bulb this weekend and put it in and it is a pretty big difference from the stocker. A lot brighter and whiter light. If you get one make sure it's a H4ST bulb marked for motorcycle use only like in the pic above. I paid $19.99 for it at Advance Auto.

i just intalled a fatboy/softail headlight on my bob... it is a 7" light, and makes a big difference in lighting and looks. got it off ebay for 30 bucks, and am going to install a sylvania silverstar h6024ST bulb here tonight, that sealed beam bulb was 19.99. the fatboy/softail 7" light bolts right up and uses the stock connector, you have to remove the crimp on ends to get the wires out of the stock headlight housing, and put in new housing and put back in connector. eveything will work just like normal.
also i think you can buy the fatboy/softail housing from j &p pretty reasonable and put any h6024 bulb in it for way less money than any aftermarket HD lamp!

H3 bulb
I went to Autozone and bought the higher intensity version H3 bulb off the rack and it is a lot brighter - about $20.00. It says on the package it is for a motorcycle. If it isn't about $20.00 it isn't the right H3 as there is a lower power version at about half that.

Are you sure the H3 was for motorcycle use? I believe the H4ST is what you are supposed to use.

Depending on the color of the bike the Head Light Trim Ring from HD might be an alternative.
It looks good on my Dyna IMHO. More photos here: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/members/69537-rowo-albums-97-2007-dyna-street-bob.html.
