I use sylvania or phillips bulbs.

some bulbs do not hold up well to fluctuations in voltage or vibrations.

h3's comes in various wattages- so match the other side

on some models 55 w may require beefed up wiring or relays ( I did this on my evo)

when kmart was dying ( pre-sears) I bought 2 dozen sylvania 55 w h3 capsules for 25˘ apiece.

My Buell came with Osram H3 bulbs, which seem fine.

I'm using these LEDs in my Kuryakyn spots. They are brighter than the 35w bulb that came in the spots. They put out nice bright white light, probably a good match to your LED headlight. I don't know want kind of spots you have, but if you have 2" between the bulb mount and the lens they will fit. I had to modify the bulb to fit my spots.

Here's some pics.

They will work with a little bit of mods. You have to remove light from mount and remove a little bit of the mount to make it shorter. I just wiggled the light back and forth a little bit. The light came right out of its mount. It looks like you will need a soldering iron to unsolder the ground wire. My ground wire was not soldered. Once the light is removed from mount the material in the red box in pic has to be removed. After material is removed, open ears on whats left of the mount and reinstall light. Bend ears over light, plug light in to make sure it works. If it works, put a little JB weld on it, to make sure light stays in mount.
