Hyperwhite Bulb?

I am wanting to put a hyperwhite light bulb in my 1200N. Right now I do 1/2 my riding in the dark and after the time change even more will be. I just want to see and be seen better. Doesanyone have an opinion on what bulb I should get.

Thanks,

Trae

I have Sylvania Silverstar H4 bulb, much brighter than stock. After I changed my headlight to 5 3/4" light, even brighter.

RE: Hyperwhite Bulb?

I've tried the Sylvania Silverstars, they are very bright, but I've been through 2 bulbs in the last 6 months. About 3 months on each bulb and the high beam filament blows. Yes, I know about not touching the glass part of the bulb when installing it. I'm going to the PIAA superwhites, they are expensive but $20 every 3 months for the Silverstar is ridiculous especially when they fail when you need them the most out on a dark road..
