Default Brighter headlight

I would like to put brighter passing lights & headlight bulbs in my 06 street glide. Any Ideas?

Use the "search" function at the top of this page. There have been quite a few threads very recently about HID lights, any many of those also refer to other bulb options.

if you don't want to go the HID route, try a PIAA bulb. same current draw as stock but 100-110 watts vs. 55 or so. Plenty bright for me but i haven't tried it on a pitch dark country road yet.

Has anybody had an over-amperage draw from running these lights on a bagger?

The Stock Bulbs in the later model pasing lamps are modular 881s and have an output of 27W each.

They can be replced with 898s, which are 37.5w each, or 886s that are 55W each.

We upgraded to the 55W and appreciate the increased ligh output.

You can also upgrade the headlight to the dual bulb halagon unit that is in the P&A Book.

Good Luck
