I can't see!!!!!
I do a fair amount of riding at night and my 06 Ultra doesn't have the best lighting system. I went to the Harley dealer for better bulbs and he wanted $105 for the head light and 2 spot lights. When no one was looking he said something about getting bulbs at Napa etc for a bunch less. He said the same bulb he sells can be had for a fraction of the price somewhere else. I didn't get any part numbers cause there was another guy there and I didn't want to get him in trouble. Do you guy's know what he is talking about. I want to do the headlight and both spot lights.
Thanks Brett

RE: I can't see!!!!!
If he mentioned NAPA then he may have been talking about the Wagner TruView bulbs. I do a good amount of business with NAPA and was given a set to "test" in my Dodge RAM pickup. They are definitely brighter and whiter than the standard bulbs but nothing like a HID system. For costing a hair more than the standard bulbs I was really impressed with the TruView bulbs.
Now...do they carry them for bikes? I haven't a clue.

The Wagners do not have any covering on the bulb itself to emulate a HID system. They are clear but brighter and whiter than a standard halogen bulb.

EDIT: I just spoke to a NAPA guy and he didn't see a listing for Harley's but he did say that all they do is add a letter to the back end of the bulb number. For instance, a standard 9004 bulb would be a 9004TV in the TruView line. Maybe if you could get the number off the stock bulb you could call NAPA and ask.

RE: I can't see!!!!!
Are you sure that your headlight and driving lights are aimed correctly? Mine are not, and I'm too lazy to aim them, and as a result, I don't have the visibility that I know that I should...maybe I'll do something about this tomorrow morning...
