Default Silverstar bulb

Can someone help me with the part # for the silverstar bulb for the passing lights(on &nbsp\\;the sides of the headlight)?
&nbsp\\;
I know it has been posted before but in a search I can't find it.
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
Thank you
Moe

Harley bulb for Part Number 68273, 68450, 69294 &amp\\;68348 is&nbsp\\;a #880 - it is NOT the same as an H3 bulb... (don't ask how the wallet knows)
&nbsp\\;
If you want to switch over to the H3 Halogen bulb, you need the harley # 68208-98A
&nbsp\\;I ordered that bulb housing, cut the rubber sleeve back, removed the H3 bulb and upgraded it to a PIAA Silverstar bulb. (I've got the HID headlamp, and the 880 just looked to yellow)
&nbsp\\;
just be careful to order the 35 watt version (ebay is cheaper than dealers).. most car stores sell the 50 watt version which may cause problems with the wiring harness

I have changed over to the halogen housings, just looking for the Sylvania silverstar bulb #. Have the headlight bulb want to change passing lights to match plus riding more at night and want the extra light.
&nbsp\\;
Thanks
Moe

I don't have the Sylvania number..
I got the PIAA ones - I picked mine up on ebay.. 27.00for the pair &nbsp\\;vs 45.oo locally
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...878&amp\\;rd=1
&nbsp\\;
PIAA part number is 15635 for the 35 watters
&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;they're 3800 Kelvin - PIAA Super White
&nbsp\\;
you can check the Fatboy catalog.. their prices are 34.00 EACH.. but they were on backorder when I was looking

The replacement bulb for the halogen is actually a 881 with a 90 degree base. The Silverstar # is H3ST, but does not have a 90 degree base. I have read it can be slightly modified to fit into the housing.
&nbsp\\;
I have the Silverstar H4ST Headlight bulb. Its real bright at night, but lacks the visible noticibility during the day compared to the Stock Halogen (yellowish). I decided to leave the 881s in my passing lights for better daytime visiblity.
