Any H4 bulb will work, including the 80/100W high-output type.

Ive read of riders having the plastic connection (plug) melt when using some of the high output bulbs.

On my fatboy I tried a Sylvania Bulb that I got at a Auto Zone and it burned out in a couple thousand miles, I was told by the parts guy at the dealer it was because of vibration. Im getting ready to replace my bulbs in the Road Glide and Ive been looking at the Piaa bulbs they have models for motorcycles and vibration.

I have seen the plug melt with the hi watt bulbs. Any H-4 bulb will fit, I would say you got a bad bulb. I doubt that vibration was the culprit, so I wouldn't put to much into that statement. But we all know the stealerships know best....lol

Replace the cheap plastic HD headlight plug with a BakeLite(?) one from NAPA or another parts house...

I agree that this is an excellent low-cost upgrade, but since they aren't DOT-approved I don't think they're technically legal on a MC or even a car in the U.S. That said, they look like any other fluted headlight and I can't imagine any cop stopping you for running them, and if they did I don't know how they'd know they were E-code headlights. I've run them for years on cars and MC's without raising any eyebrows.

I have the Hella headlight and the Hella 80/100w H4 bulb. These bulbs fit stock HD headlights, so check with your friends for orders and share the shipping charges.

You might consider the LED or HID lighting. Much better than filiment lighting and they last much longer.
Car headlight on a motorcycle? I thought we beat the car tire on a motorcycle issue to death. Maybe next will be car floor mats on a motorcycle.
