Headlight Help

I'm running a PIAA extreme white H4 bulb in both bikes with stock bucket. Much brighter than stock bulb. Koko, the only problem using a 100 watt bulb in a stock bucket is it burns hotter than the stock bulb and will probably melt the plastic reflector. Wiring may also melt due to the extra heat generated

I'm running an Adjure Tri-bar with black dot. Standard bulb. I will be ordering an Osram Nightbreaker bulb on advice from the guys here in the forum. Just the tri-bar alone made a WORLD of difference. Jewel or diamond faceted (not sure what it's called) reflector and clear lens. Pretty sure you can get them in 7". Some others here swear by the new LED lights though.

You can find the Truck Lite LED headlights for 299 regular and 269 or maybe a few $$ less on sale. I opted to go with the HD LED because I liked the look much better. Check on New Castle HD online for the best deals on the HD LEDs. I just ordered the aux light setup for my LO and they had the best prices.

The headlight was plug and play but, the auxiliary lights required cutting and soldering. Piece of cake though. The lights overall are designed to be better that OEM although I believe that the dots and tri-bars are for looks.

Awhile back it was posted in here some member did that, melted the wires by running a 100 watt bulb..
Do some reading and searching before U just change out the bulb for a higher wattage.
