I had HIDs on my 06 RG...I don't want to go that route with my 2011.

I am looking at various PIAA options...they will fit but I would like to hear from those that have switched out their bulbs.

No I don't want HIDs.

Damn...no has used any of these PIAA bulbs????

 

I asked about PIAA for my 09 Road Glide and was told to be careful because some high watt/high heat bulbs could melt the housing. Still have the stock bulbs, but I'm interested in more/brighter bulbs. The other consideration is lifespan of the bulb. Keep us posted on your choices.

 

I`m using sylvania silverstars. The hi-beams are pretty good.

 

Im using 70/65W Osram Plus 50. Much better than stock IMHO.

 

I had seen this posted and talked about before , maybe this might be a possibility.

The euro headlight setup gives a better beam spread than the US dot setup.
The Osram 70/65 bulbs work really well also.
I'm running an E-Code setup and it's far and away better than stock for sure.
Didn't know if this might be a direction to go.
Just an option.

I know about the Euro set-up but I am not even sure you can get the parts anymore. I just want to switch the bulbs and be done.

My car/tech buddy said to go with the PIAA H4 extreme whites...and I trust his judgement...plus he can get them at cost for me...LOL

Plus my local dealer sells PIAA so I know they can be used as replacements...I just wanted to hear from someone who may have used me.

I guess I am the guinea pig...I will let you all know the results.

 

I found the same warnings/issues with my 08 RG when I was prepping up for the Hoka Hey. I finally did nothing and added Moto lights.

I'm sure it is no news here, but for whatever reason H-D sends these bikes out with the lights adjusted way lower than what the book says. Adjusted via the method prescribed by H-D does provide much improvement. IMO

 

Very interested in your outcome. Subscribed.
