Been running PIAA about 8 months so far with no problems. Great visibility.

I would Not Recomend PIAA bulbs they seem to have short Life cycles on Bikes.

PIAA POWERSPORTS BULB H4 XTREME WHITE ANTI VIBRATION 60/55W=110/100W
This bulb will handle the vibration and last a long time. They are very bright and have a white light. I noticed a big difference from the stock bulbs.

GLIDE: Have you been running this bulb for awhile now? Just curious about the low beam being 80 watts of draw on the system or the High beam of 100 watts. If these are the bulbs I have heard about from Germany, they are supposed to be of good quality. Also, is the light more of a white color. Thanks for any info... KB

I've been running it for about 6 months now with no problems. I also ran them in past bikes too with no problems. The 80 watts low isn't a problem at all with draw and the light is more of a white light than the stock color one. The high beam is awesome! It also gives a different light that lights up to the side as well as front unlike the stock one that usually gives you a spot on the road ahead of the bike, much better visability here too. I find that it aluminates road sign at night MUCH better than stock bulbs. For the price, they are about as good of an upgrade as I have found to date, best of all they work so much better than stock bulbs.

Check out the third one down. It's an H4 bulb for the single bulb bikes with the non sealed beam bulbs. It will work in your street glide.
