Default Headlight

I checked my headlight adjustment like the manual said, and it was fine on dim. The problem is when on bright, it illuminates everything in a circle except the center of the road, so I lose visability. Very annoying. Anyone else deal with this issue?

My bike was like that with the stock bulb, I changed to a hi intensity halogen PIAA bulb and it is much better.

Steve,
&nbsp\\;
First noticed it going down a tree covered road, on the 06 Electra, that circle goes 360 and does not help in the forward line of sight. Nicknamed it the Harley Halo.
Rocker does the same darn thing, Info from XARAN is appreciated. Going to change the Electra Glide out first as wee are leaving to go to Chester Va on the 25th returning on Jul 7th. 600 miles one way and then head west to ride back on the Blue ridge Parkway.
&nbsp\\;
XARAN do you happen to have the part number you used for the Rocker bulb?
&nbsp\\;
thanks
&nbsp\\;
Brian

I'm assuming that a Rocker has an H4 headlight bulb OK?

Steve, I just want to recommend you look at the HID headlight Harley makes. It's the best $100 you can spend on your safety.
