Dave, thanks for the post. I was about to go HID on my '07 Ultra. The lighting on my last ride (K1200LT BMW) was criminal, only upgrade to HID or Aux lighting (mostly PIAA's) fixed the problem. BMW failed to rectifiy the proble to this day. I really never had any problemns with my previous Harley's, but got used to the HID. It appears the Silverstars at 4100K are just as good and far less ($$$$) expensive. thanks for the investigative work.

880 SilverStar Fog light
[/align]High Performance Halogen Fog light - part number: 880ST

565 27watts ~4000K (wattage same as stock)
There is also a 893ST that is 37.5 watts - but that is 40% more load. No idea if that is excessive.

Hey Dave,

Jerry from KY here, I already have the H4ST in my headlight, and had already switched all 3 lights to the new style that came out in 05. I just did not know the 880ST bulbs would fit in the spots. Thanks.

BTW, your package arrived today, I had to get up this afternoon and leave for work, where I am now. (Damn 12 hour night shifts...[:@][:@][:@]) So, I will open the package tomorrow. Thanks for fast shipment.

Thanks! I replaced the headlamp on my 05 ultraweeks ago using the silverstar. Now it bugged me that my spots didn't match. Did a search and ran a few posts here for a solution. Didn't get any responses. Thanks for coming through!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm. I ride an '04 Ultra. Anyone know if they'll fit. I'm betting that they will, so I am off to Auto Zone.

Buy these lampsfrom Harley -#68348-05 = $60. (I think '06's and '07's may already have this lamp???)
Anybody know for sure if the 06's already have this lamp?

Thanks

Just keep a eye on the silverstars they have a high falure rate due to vibration in harleys.
