Headlight Bulb Replacement
Changed out the bulb on my 2004 EG Standard. To my surprise, the bulb I bought at Autozone was the same exact bulb that came with the bike. The bulb was the original bulb. I used Sylvania SilverStar ULTRA/H4. Now on to change the passing lamps.

You said it was the same exact bulb?

If you want bright spotlamps, I suggest Wagner aircraft landing lights, part number 7509 at 100 watts each...install them with a Bosch relay, use bigger wire than stock, and consider rewiring the switch to work independently of the headlights. I don't have the part number for the headlights, but you should be able to go into any NAPA or mom 'n' pop auto parts store and they can go to the books for that. It is rare that I actually get to use them in SoCal because there are cars on every road at every hour of the night anymore...but they really do light up the road!
