Default Lighting up the road at night
Looking for something to light up the road better at night.

Looking for something effective yet reasonably priced. Looking for any opinions on what works well. Thanks.

The best option is a HID kit... There are many threads in this forum about it.

A cheaper option would be to go to a higher wattage bulb (100/90)

Most of the (legal) "super white" bulbs on the market are still 60/55 and do not actually put out more lumens, they are just a different color (usually a slight blue tint) which to me, makes no difference in visibility.

Do a search for "PIAA Rally H4" or "off-road H4" and look for 100/90 bulbs. I got mine from UK (they're not legal in the US and most of Europe for on-road use, but as long as you have a good lens and keep the headlight adjusted correctly no one will notice) I think I paid about $15 each for them.

I've heard nothing but good about MotoLights, but they're not cheap.
