Default PIAA Headlights
I took the factory GE candles out of my Roadglide and replaced them with PIAA H4 Super Plasma GT X bulbs. Anybody having trouble seeing at night i reccomend these bulbs. While not cheap they light up the night. Bought mine here.

Any problems with cagers flashing you because they think you're on high beam?

Thanks

Dennis

No problems at all. The Dennis Kirk website has them as DOT approved.

Nope, color temp, is the actual color of the light, no connection to the output.

05 Ultra great link and thanks. I ordered a pair of the Osram Silver Stars H4 and will post about them once they get here. For me it's all about getting the most light possible and don't care if they "look cool" going down the road. I just care what they look like from behind the handle bars. Thanks again.

I run the PIAA Xtreme white bulbs rated at 55/60w power consumption and 100/110w light output at 4150k. This is very good, quality lighting. Brighter, whiter, and clearer. Now I need to upgrade my passing lamps to match.

DO YOU HAVE ANY CHARGING ISSUES WITH THESE BULBS?
I AM RUNNING THE HD FOG LIGHT SET UP ON MY RG, AND HAVE HAD THE STATOR / REG. REPLACED ALREADY ( warranty )

Thanks, WD
