Ya, D175 you should have. The headllight there is only one choice, part # H4ST , it's the only silverstar with a H4 base. Passing lamps I used are the 27 watt ones because they are the same wattage as the stock bulbs, there is also a 37.5 watt bulb ,but I didn't want to burn up the wiring harness ( not just yet anyway). Part numbers are ;27 watt - 880ST foglamp bulb and the 37.5 watt - 893ST foglamp bulb. I know soome older bikes use sealed beams in the passing lamps , I've read here in this forum that some of those guys use the H-D upgraded lamps. I have no personal experience with PIAA but I do have some friends that are into 4X4ing and they swear by PIAA. They are very brite, I have not noticed the washing-out of details by the lights but perhaps I'm not looking for details, just happy to put more light out in front of me.
Mike

If you go to Passing lamps with the H-D upgraded lamp assembiles then you can run the H-3 lamps made by either Piaa or SilverStar.

If the lense you have looks like this below, you can use an H-3 bulb. If yours is stock and your the first owner an you didn't order any upgrade on Passing lamps when you received delivery then most likely yours will "not" accept the H-3 bulb pictured below.

Any chance I can us these in a Road Glide? I am worried about heat and AMP draw under that plastic cover.

The amp drain is the same as stock and they don't put out any more heat. I have them in my RG

Thanks for the reply. Are they the same part number H4ST, for a RG?
