Try this: http://www.piaa.com/Bulbs/Bulbs-H4.html

PIAA's H4 Series Xtreme White

I've got one and it really LIGHTS the road.

The Silverstar is okay, but about half the intensity. The PIAA is extreme duty and has a much thicker element for a motorcycle vibrations. Mine set me back about $46. Your choice.

Hey guys, I can't get the retainer ring off my light to change my bulb. I've got one of the 9" cobra bullets. I've tried everything, any suggestions???
BTW, I've already tried heating it up, and using PB blaster......
