Thumbs up

Changing the bulb may help, but if you want a real noticeable change, you should swap out the entire HL including the reflector, That's where you'll see a significant difference with a bulb change.

I have a Daniel Stern setup danielstern.com in my Dyna and a Candlepower set up (Hella 7") on my Road King. Huge difference. It's not exactly cheap, but still under $100.00 per bike the difference at night is unbelievable.

Sent him an email, just waiting for his answer. I just want to light up the road at night. Thanks!

I went with FastHarley's HID setup and I think it is great. I got the sale price though. I think it is about 250.00 buck. Check out his web site.

BTW: They are bright!

You're absolutely right...the bulb is only part of the equation! And under 100 for something to get done to our bike IS CHEAP! LOL

Good Luck and Ride Safe, Mike

Anybody else just run their high beam all the time? I keep mine on day and night. Seems to be sufficient.
