GREAT bulb super bright and a clean white not the blue ricer crap... i have tried all the bulbs you can imagine and these are the best and actully the easiest to get in my opinion! have them in all the bikes int he garage right now!

only comes in one... read your old bulb... to much wattage and you will melt everything on the inside

Sylvania SilverStar here also. Bulb number I think is H4ST.

Yup, H4ST should be right. I use one myself and really like the brightness and like it was said before, not the "blue ricer crap". Worth the $20.

Very good advice.

I once put a 100 watt bulb in a Yamaha and it melted the bulb holder and burned the silver off the reflector. I learn by my mistakes.

I can also recommend Sylvania bulbs from experience. They are very good indeed and give a good bright white light and last a long time.

I've also used Phillips Vision Plus which are excellent. Expensive but worth the money.

The Sylvania Silverstar comes in 4 different lights. The Cool Blue, XtraVision, High Performance, and the Ultra. I believe the Ultra's only come in a twin pack. But it's their whitest and brightest halogen they have. That's what I went with. Well worth the $$$

Another pointer.

Don't touch the bulb!! Use some latex or plastic gloves when instaling the light or anything as long as you don't touch the bulb. The oils from your fingers will shorten the life of the bulb considerably.
