If you are talking more light out put then you are talking going to HID lights. $420 from Benjys HD, 20% off, 304-523-1340 ask to speak to Jenni.

Kuryakyn Xe7R 7 HID part 2253 is $489.99

I went with the Sylvania H4ST bulb for the headlight, available at any auto parts store, and 2 sealed beam halogen 4 1/2" spotlights from J&P Cycles for the spots. They made a significant difference without breaking the bank.

Try this site for the PIAA bulb, Xtreme white. Price per bulb is about 1/2 of cycle parts places.

I have found the Kuryaykn/xsighting lighting online for 420.00. I think I like this over the onehd sellsbecause you bet both high and low beam hid instead of just the low beam. Anyone have the Kuryakyn? User opinoins?

go get a SilverStar bulb by Sylvania for 20 bucks before yu spend a ton of cash. My light is so bright I took off the crash bar mounted driving lights and never run the auxilary spots anymore.

I hope you're right. I just bought the Sylvania H4ST and installed it. I'll wait until it gets dark before I make a judgement call.

I put in the Adjure headlight and passing lamps.
I went with the ice style. I satisfied.
You may have to re-adjust.

While this post was quite some time ago, I was wondering if you only swapped out the bulb or if you also upgraded the wiring. Have you had to replace the bulb since? And if you have, did you look into the newer, more powerful Sylvania bulbs?

I changed to that bulb when my stock bulb went south. It's just plug and play. Been a while and still working well.
