Hey Phreak, how much brighter would you say the new bulb is? Thanks, BB

 

Hard to qualify. I wouldn't call it night and day, but I can definately see the light when riding at night with shades on.

The white light adds to the appearance of being brighter as well.

 

I had an extra GM 9006 55W Bulb lying around after I put the Blue Lights in my 2K Z/28.[/align] So I drilled a large hole about one inch under the stock HD (Blue) Bulb made it a snug, push-infit - after I filed the plastic ring that's in front of the O-Ring. I then, after cleaning out all the plastic / dust out of the lenswired it into the high beam so both bulbs light. It angles up towards the stock bulb and is about a 1/2 inch from it - tip to tip.[/align] It is BRIGHT... WAY Bright.[/align] I was going to replace the stock headlight housing anyway so I figured if I 'effed it up - no big deal. I added a bead of silicone around the bulb as insurance to keep it in place. Works great - Cheap.[/align] Now I want to replace it with a Blue Bulb - and keep the stock light...[/align]

 

The things one can learn on this site. I was whining just last night about the dull yellow beam. Just replaced the stocker with the Sylvania H4.

 

I went and bought one today. You all cost me too much $$$$ (even though this was a cheap upgrade)

 

It was worth it in my book. I was taking a *test ride* after installing the bulb, and of course at night. I was able to spot a jack rabbit crossing the road long before I got to him.

Makes me wonder what I have missed in the past.

 

I finished installing my Silverstar and it is whiter and brighter and only took 15 minutes tops. My estimate is 25% to 50% brighter and a good buy at 20 bucks. The hardest part was finding the little nut that shot across the garage floor when I loosened it too much. I also installed chrome head bolt covers and at 50 bucks, not such a good deal but very cool looking! Those took me 30 minutes to install. Thanks for all the good advice. BB

 

I have the Xenon Lamp. Well worth the money.

 

If you thought that nut was fun to chase. Change your Grips and drop one of your Throttle cable brass ferrels on concrete. It took 10 minute to find mine when I dropped it.

 

that sylvania sounds like a great deal .i will havta try it.brighter the better.
