On some cars and bike headlights the lights appear kinda with a blue tint and really bright, does anyone know what kind of bulbs there using? There not HID, Thanks

 

I use Sylvania Ultra Silver Star 9003, H4 style bulbs. One of the brightest H4 style bulbs you can buy.

I use Ultra Silver Stars in my truck as well.

 

They are usually the Xenon off road bulbs. You'll see the blue on the bulb when you look at them. They say for off road use only. You need to be careful though because a lot of them are 60/65 Watt. That will over load you bike electrical system and probably fry you headlight wires. You need the 55/60 or what ever stock is. I run the Sylvania Ultras in all my cars and in my bike. It's not blue, but it's a true really white light. I noticed a huge different in distance the light covers the ground. Great lights and worth it without spending money on HID or worrying about over loading your electrical system. And you can get them at any Schucks, Kragen, Checkers and even walmart.

 

Rich you beat me by seconds!!

 

We use the vibration resistant PIAA XTreme White H4 bulbs in both our Low Rider and Heritage Softail Classic. The power consumption is 60/55w, but gives 110/100w in light output. PIAA Part number 70456 for my Dyna Low Rider. This PIAA shines at 4150 on the Kelvin color temp scale. You cant believe the difference in brightness. It's really a very white light with a very slight touch of blueness. It's really like night and day when you're next to another bike. I would never go back to regular bulbs. They aren't cheap.......but I like knowing I can see better at night and be seen better during the day. Sold in most biker catalogs and auto stores.

 

Jaron B........... My bulbs are the 60/55W and I have not fried or melted or damaged in any way, my headlight wires. I've used them for 2 years and run them on the HIGH BEAM 100% of the time. My Hubby has not had any problem either.
Where did you get your information about wire damage? BTW, our Harley Dealer is the one who installed and recommended the bulbs for both our bikes. Also, last I saw, the Sylvania Ultra 9003/H4 also had listed on it's box.....a power consumption of 60/55w. I'm running the standard OEM 4 1/2" HD Headlight.

 

55/60W are fine! I'm talking about the 60/65W bulbs on up. That extra 5 W's seems to make a big difference! I've had friends that had their wiring harness fry up in their cars. My dad knew someone that fried his bike. He told me that when I tried to put those 60/65W bulbs in his Harley because when I was back in High School. Which is why HID's have their own amplifier thingy (I forget what they call it). It's so the HID bulbs don't burn up your system. The bulbs you posted got me interested in trying because 4150 is close to HID for a non-HID system and you are still running 55/60W bulb, that's awesome. Also some of them off road bulbs run actual 100/110W and damn they get hot!

 

JaronB........... forgive my eyesight. I see what you wrote now.,,,,, 60/65W Damn.....getting old is a bitch!!! That's why we need brighter lights at night!!!

 

Yea........ the PIAA does have an output of 100/110W and man, does that headlight get hot. But so far, all has been good. I like the antivibration quality of the PIAA and we went over some rough roads last year and no problems. I notice the Sylvania H4's sell in twin packs for half the price of the a single PIAA bulb......but I've also heard and read where the Sylvania Ultra dont seem to last long before it needs replacement. Maybe that's why they sell them in twin packs. Dennis Kirk has them at $48 per bulb. Here's a link to their site. I'm sure you can find them for less if you shop around.

Cool thanks!! I haven't had any problems with the sylvania's going out in the cars yet. As for the bike they have only been on there for about 100 miles because I try to catch rides between our snow breaks out here and I just put them on a couple months ago. But if they do got out I know what to go with next! I'll see if I can order the PIAA's through Schucks and get my 10% military discount!
