Default H4 / 9003 ST.....same bulb ??

Looking to replace the bulbs in my R/G.......thought I
knew what I was doing (should have known better) !!!
I'm thinking about trying the Sylvania SilverStar Ultra......then
totally confused myself when I reached the lightbulb section
of auto parts store, so I left with nothing.

Just point me in the right direction please, even if I
need a post-it note stuck to my forehead

Thanks

The H4 is 9003. Don't think they make the Ultra for it though.

Yes they do.
Blew my bulb Saturday.
Installed the Silverstar Ultra bulb.
Only available in a 2-pack, though...$50 bucks!
Fortunately, a buddy split the pack with me.

9003/hb2 su is the part number I used and on package I have. I got that number from another thread here where Sylvania rep had responded on whether the bulb was sufficient for motorcycles. That part number is what he stated and is what I placed on my 09 Street Glide. Its the Silverstar Ultra and I bought it in a single pack, I think around 25 bucks at my local auto parts store.

Good luck.

What do you think, is it worth it? I figured I would go the cheap route first before I spend a couple of more bucks for another setup
