BRIGHT headlight Who????
I was driving to lunch one day at work and these two bikes had these headlights that were so bright,i have Never ever seen even an offroad light this bright! (and i have seen some bright ones) What are they? They were so bright i didnt know what it was a 1/2 mile away and i knew it wasnt a car/truck/or a bike,but it was. Thought maybe a ufo or some kind of crazy welding that i have never seen! Im not kidding these were sick! And i was sober when this event had taken place too!

They were most likely HID headlights(not just a replacement bulb). I have one in my street glide and will be getting one for my bob soon. They are so bright that if I am behind somebody on the freeway, they usually just move out of my lane so they dont have to see it in their mirrors. Very visible!

Hey Joe would you have a part # for the SS. My stock light is about as bright as a candle.

Anyone have the part number for a Fat Bob for Sylvania Silverstar. I would love to brighten up my headlights.

If you have just the single headlight, it's a good bet that it uses the 9003 also. Best way to check is pull the bulb from your headlight and look for numbers around the base area.

I got the PIAA Super White Bulb. WORKS GREAT!!!!!! Well worth the investment. It's a little more expensive since it designed for a motorcycle and the vibration it endures. The element is much thicker.
Be sure NOT to touch the bulb when installing. It has a bluish tint to the beam. But it will LIGHT THE ROAD.
Others are using the Silverstar H4. It's $20 cheaper.
