I have narrowed down my choice to either the Trucklite or possibly just a brighter replacement bulb. The TL is around 200 on ebay My buddy just replaced his headlight bulb with some aftermarket (xenon maybe) and he said that he was happy with it. Any input? I was ready to spend the dough on the TL but if I can get away cheaper I am for that as well...

Tried HID, kept burning out bulbs. Also tried e code head lite with 90/100 bulb. The TL phase 7 blows them out of the water. I'm not sorry I paid Eastern Performance $195 for the LED, I think I will now get the spot lites as well.
I used the Silverstars for a long time, much better than stock bulbs. On my road glide I used the Harley daymakers, holy cow what a night and day difference they really lit the road up great. On my new Street Glide I went with the Trucklite phase 7, a lot better than the Silverstars but not as good as the daymakers. Eastern Performance had the Phase 7's on sale for under $200 which is a damn good price for them.

Maybe said earlier in this post.
Although the TL will need aux. lights to fill in the dark spots and the combo is more expensive, its worth it.
I found the brighter bulbs burnt out quicker and unexpectedly, requiring me to carry a spare which usually got broken in the bag.
