Default Rocker headlight bulb question.

What kind of headlight bulb does the rocker take? Is it H7, H9? Or neither.

Thanks fellers

Default Is anyone using a HID headlamp for their Rocker?

Is anyone using a HID headlamp for their Rocker? In earlier post someone said it's stock bulb is: part number 68329-02, HB2/H4.

I used to use HID bulbs in other bikes and want to upgrade the weak headlamp bulb in my '08 Rocker C.

What do you all recommend? I want the brightest possible bulb.

Thanks

PIAA has about the best stock sized bulb you can fit into the stock housing with the Sylvania Silverstar running a fair second.
Stay away from the cheap supposedly HID bulbs that are sold on the internet (e-bay in particular). Most are just cheap imitations of the above mentioned bulbs and some can also run hot enough to damage and or warp the plastic reflector in your housing.
