Anybody have this bulb installed in your bike?
Is it worth doing?
More coverage?

Thanks

 

I put one in my bike...I don't know it's probably some better...maybe. 23 bucks it won't bust your checking account to try it.

Probably just a Sylvania ultra star H4ST in a HD bag.

 

some of us ( me) find that a blue/white bulb changes contrast in things seen at night, I prefer a yellow/white light--- i dunno why, I just see better with it.

the blue/white bulb does give better daytime visibility to other traffic though

many of us are using silverstar bulbs at your local auto parts store- these usually come in a 2 pak, you can throw the spare on the saddlebag.

These sylvania or phillips bulbs will usually have acahrt on the back showing 'coverage', light output, but also expected life.

I'm not so much into the blue. A whiter light is better than yellow. But if all you are after is a little brighter, just adjust the light up a bit.

 

I came from Goldwings and did a LOT of riding at night at speed. A Goldwing runs a 45/45 watt bulb and the reflecter is what made it produce the proper light output. I am one to preach don't out run your headlights. It did through out a lot of light better than my trucks. But I got bored with it and switched to the FLHTK, well I could the lights suck I could not see any further than just in front the bike. Anything over 40 mph I was driving blind. Changed to this bulb and I now feel safe up to 55-60 mph. Looking at going to LED but that big money and holding off for the moment. Is it worth the $25, a little high but it will make you safer and thats worth it.

Years ago I was talked into putting 55/100 and melted the headlight wires, learned lesson.
