Default Lighting Upgrade

I want to change out my stock head light and passing light bulbs for better visability. I have an 06 Road King Classic. Can someone recommend decent bulbs for a reasonable price?

Appreciate any responses.

Many of us have replaced our stock bulbs with Sylvania Silverstars - brighter, whiter light. They are a little "pricey" but seem to be well worth the $$

Do you have the part numbers for the bulbs?

I think the part numbers are the same as the original plus ST on the end. Eg. headlight H4ST.

They are more money than regular replacements but not nearly as pricey as PIAAs.

I have had great luck using these folk for bulbs. The listings have good technical information and the Hella bulbs are top quality.
