CAUTION when changing headlight!!!
My buddy with a Dyna decided to upgrade the bulb to a PIAA. After a 2hr. ride we stopped for lunch and I noticed his lens was shattered - not broken but full of cracks like a spider web. We took secondary roads and we were never behind a car or truck so no chance of a rock - plus it was`nt actually broken in pieces - just cracked all over but in tact.
Turns out he overtightened the chrome ring - not allowing for heat expansion.
Let this be your $100.00 lesson - tighten but not too much.

another thing to watch is the plastic on the plug-end. Some technical reports recommend using an adapter plug that withstands the heat of the higher intensity bulb.
Just say'n that is what I have heard.
