If the Sylvania Silvestar Ultra's will fit you can get a pair for about $12. I upgrade to these on all my Harley's, plenty wide beam and brite.

I too will recommend just going to your local Auto parts store and pick up a pair of Sylvania SilverStar's. They are Much, Much better than the stock headlight! I was so impressed with the improvement for the money that I went and put them in both my ATV's and bikes. For the money you just cant go wrong.

Every time I have used a Silverstar it has burned out quickly. I don't use them anymore for this reason. But...they are nice and bright.

3 Harley's, 80K plus, all with the Silverstar Ultra's, never lost one yet. Now that I said that, I better go buy a spare. You know how that works.
