Default headlights

The stock sportster bulb was pathetic. It made a yellowish glow on the road... You might as well have been holding a flashlight. So I went to the store and bought a "Super White" H4 halogen replacement. I changed the bulbs today have not tried it at night yet. In a closed garage, you can see that the Super White is definitely whiter in colour but its a 60/55W bulb. Some claim because its halogen, its drawing 60/55W but its equivalent to a 110W bulb.

I was about to buy a PIAA bulb when the front desk people actually talked me out of it. Two behind the desk at the motorsport store said they had PIAA's and actually preferred the Super White (at a considerable cost savings too).

Is the 60/55W as bright as a 110watt? or do I need to swap this out again?

What light do you run with?

I run with the OPT-7 LED replacement bulb on mine, it's good but the high beams and low beams are pointing at the same place just with a greater intensity on the high beams.
