Default Headlight question.

Still working on the Evo Fattie, and the headlight seems really weak (stock '93 I assume). I was wondering if there is a cheap replacement that is commonly used to give these old big headlight bikes more "shine" - Thanks.

The cheapest is to clean all the connections and make sure there isn't any corrosion inhibiting the juice.

Xenon replacements, no additional draw on power and about 1 1/2 times as "white" instead of yellow. Bought mine on E Bay for around 7 bucks.

Does it have a sealed beam? My 2002 came with a sealed beam and i could not see my hand in front of my face with that thing. I got a new housing for an h4 bulb and popped in a bright bulb and it was night and day difference. To see what kind of bulb is in it unscrew the trim ring and see what is there...
