The adjure lens is the way to go no doubt, throw a Osram Nightbreaker in it and you're set. Best price found on the adjure below. Thats my choice also...+1

Take the trim ring off, pull out the light, unplug. Replace what you pulled out with new one. Pretty self-explanatory. Here's a link to an Osram Nightbreaker. Yes, 5 3/4 as on mine.

I went to Sylvania's website and entered my bike's year and make. It looks like the Silver Star Ultra will be a heluva lot better than the light that's in it now.
Sure won't hurt to try!

So what do you think of the Osram Nightbreakers? You got them recently right? I have them in my car and had them on my previous bike. Those things are amazing!

Glad I stumbled on this thread! My headlight lens got cracked a week or so ago and I've been looking for a replacement. I ordered the Adjure cross 4 1/2 inch headlight, and it should fit into my bucket just fine.

I found this post and was curious to know if those of you who are running the Osram Night Breaker bulbs have had this problem?

Just curious as if any one has used one of the H.I.D conversion kits like this on from Custom Dynamics. http://www.customdynamics.com/hid_headlight_kits.htm
