I am running H3 Hella Yellow Star's in my spots. 55W is no problem. I am also running a "hotter" headlamp and Kury Panacea tail and turn LED's. I had to bump up the lamp circuit protection from 15 to 20AMP on my 97 FLSTC. The 15 AMP would heat up and cut off my lights occasionally. No problems since I went to 20AMP.

I think running yellow spots helps cagers to see you much better. Just different enough to stand out.

898s (37.5W) will work as will 886s (55w).

Both cost less that $6.00 each at most autoparts.

We use a 898 on the left side aimed at the center line and a 886 down the edge of the road for critter control.

Best of both worlds.

Good Luck

See post 4 in this link for a listing of bulbs/wattage/etc.:

https://www.hdforums.com/m_2939044/tm.htm

The "PGJ13" designation is for the 90 degree connector used on the '05 and newer bikes. '04 and older use sealed beams with the bayonnet connectors, though HD does sell a conversion connector that came with the replacement bulb kit I purchased recently and installed on my '04 EG: the clear lens, reflector optics found in the catalog.

The "search" function works very well; as does bookmarking particularly useful threads from time to time.

OK, I bought the 894 "yellow" bulbs. They're not really yellow like a fog light, more of the yellow like an old incandescent bulb. Just not white like the headlight. I am disappointed. Maybe I'll need to go to sealed beams.

I used some yellow protective film on my passing lights, I get a lot of comments on how it sticks out and is seen better. Not much loss of light on the road at night either. I have the H-3 bulb type lamps.
