Default Replacement headlight for fatboy

Tried doing a search but not finding the right answer. The high beam went out on my bike so time to replace the bulb again usually happnes once or twice a year. I currently am running the mid level hd light and it is brighter than stock but the life just hasn't been to good. Happy with level of light. So since I am leaving in a couple of days on a trip figure now is a good time to try aftermarket. So what are you guys running that is available at major auto stores, part numbers would be great. It needs to be bright as I do weekly runs out into the woods so lots of animals I would like to see. I do not want to do led or hid at this point. Thanks

If it happens that often you might be getting the bulb dirty with your fingers. Try wearing latex gloves when you install the next bulb. It just takes a little bit of the oils from your hands getting on the bulb to cause the bulb to burn out. I used to have that problem but since I've started wearing the gloves while handling and installing the bulbs they seem to last a lot longer.
