it doesn't blind cars...that's just dumb

 

yup just a bunch of negativity towards a great mod...

 

Did you remove the front lens of the headlight to accomplish your modification? I would really like to remove the lens because it has a haze on the inside that needs cleaning but I thought the lens is sealed onto the base. If it can be removed I would appreciate the info.

 

These are supposed to be the best bulbs on the market.

I took my diffuser out when I added passing lamps it is much brighter. This is an original mod by kk6pg here in the Dyna section. I did the same on the sporty. It has been a while and no bulbs have blown. I think the diffuser is there to keep the bright light out of teh eyes of the people you are behind and coming the other way, however I would much rather blind someone than have them run me over.

I've heard that from several people. I've also heard they don't last long though. What's been your experience?

 

I use the silver stars and silver star ultras...... They are definitely bright, but what you've heard is correct in my case -- they don't last long. I've replaced two of them between March and October of this year. It's a pain in the *** and I'm considering going back to regular old bulbs.

 

I have a pair of Sylvania Silverstar bulbs, they are working fine (5,500 miles so far). Although I am thinking the Ultra Sylvania Silverstar bulbs might be better (or at least according to them, their web-site, they are even brighter).

I am also considering adding some driving lamps of some sort, just not quite sure which way to go with the driving lights just yet (H-D style or custom).

 

I ran Silverstars for a while but they burn out too quick. Just my experience.

I have had them close to a year in my fatbob light and still worked. I just installed a Fatboy headlight and bought new one for it too. Got over 5,000 since installation and no problem.
