Default Need a headlight bulb suggestion

So my new led HD headlight is on back order and who knows when it will actually come in. Just my luck my headlight bulb died this past weekend. I would love some recommendations for a new bulb for my stock 2008 street bob headlight. Really looking for something bright because I do quite a bit of night riding. Brand you would recommend and even a link were you guys ordered from would be a huge help. Thanks

I use the Sylvainia SilverStars. They are plenty bright and Walmart has them for a good price.

I second the Silverstars. A lot brighter than OEM and less chance of melting your headlight wires like the 100 ebay watt bulbs do.

I third the Sylvania Silverstars. I get them of Amazon.com because you can get them a lot cheaper

The brightest one they make - Sylvania Silverstar ULTRA
Local auto parts store (Advance Auto) carried it

Another vote for Silverstars. Noticeably brighter and puts off a pure white light instead of the yellow-ish light you get from the OEM bulbs. Well worth the extra couple bucks.

Yeah, I ordered a new LED headlight last week from Zanotti. It's backordered, but supposed to be in the 26th. Maybe our wait won't be too long.

Hemi i think we are waiting for a while I ordered in march and they kept moving the back order date because some parts of that headlight are from japan and the earthquake destroyed the factory were the parts were coming from

Which Silverstar lamp replaces the OEM? I'd like to replace mine while I'm upgrading everything else.
