After seeing a post on the sylvania silverstar bulbs on here, I am curious. What is the best and brightest bulb I can throw in my stock lamp assembly, I have terrible night vision and want a nice crisp light with a good beam, I am going to get the ***** G skull visor to help with the halo effect.

 

I would love to know this as well... I'm almost tempted to take out metal piece in front of bulb to see if that helps any.. I hate not being able to see that well at night. That halo effect with my high beams is terrible.

 

As I stated in the other post about Silverstars, I have had a bad experience with their lifespan. The brighter light was nice, but they only last a bit less than a year, which is a PITA to keep replacing, and knowing that your headlight can burn out anytime. I've went through my 3rd set in 3 years.

 

OK,I paid 40$ for a PIAA,it lasted 3 months.I was pissed about this and replaced it with a Silverstar 5 months ago,20$ and it is as good or better than the Piaa.(better than stock),so I don't know how long it will last,just wait and see I guess.

 

I too want to try the Silverstars....bwtf...I cant find them here in Honolulu
I have even looked on ebay no luck as of late

 

Is your head light adjusted correctly ? I am 50 years old, do not wear glasses and about half my riding is at night, and i find the stock head light excellent ! I did have to make a slight adjustment to it when i first bought the bike [2008 superglide] But since i have really been satisfied with the stock headlight [bulb].Remember also that brighter bulbs may produce more heat which may then lead to bulbs burning out faster, things possibly melting, etc.

 

Take a look at these

Looks worth a try...Is that the bulb I would need order for my 09 Dyna Street Bob?

 

Agreed. My stock headlamp unit is plenty bright and throws a prefect "band" of light on the road. I'm not likely to mess with this set-up at all.

 

I've got UltraStars in my pickup, and they only last about 7-9 months or so. Bright bastards burn themselves out I guess, but that high beam is priceless. I will probably put a silverstar in my bike next spring.
