RE: Head light and passing lamps
oh great! I'm so damned confused now, I may just have to give up both day and night driving altogether, leaving only twilight and dusk. damn the luck anyhow.
oh yea, I know what, I need some of those strobe kits the road construction guys use on their super duty Fords.......... now that would be the ticket!
after all the bashing I took on my heated floor boards idea, I can't believe you are allnow ready to re-envent light.

Since I am planning on riding out to Sturgis I want something that will help light up the road.

Are you going to do it again this year?

I also foundthere is no Silverstar passing lamp yet (881 stock wattageor 886 brighter than stock).
I did replace the main headlight with a Silverstar H4. Now I have a white headlight and two yellowish stock passing lights! What a difference!I can't wait to change out the passers when the Sylvaniaboys make 'em. My wife saw the difference and she wants a new bulb for her Boulevard.

I just install 2 Silverstars in my passing lamps, they were #893.
They have a straight connector rather than the stock 90 degree one, but there was plenty of room in the back of the housing.
I really like the light, both for me to see the road, and for others to see me.

I have been using the PIAA Super White H4 80W/80W in the head light and the Super White 55W H3 in my driving lightsfor years, what a difference in the light output. Very, very bright white light. Blows the Silverstar away!
The PIAA is is a direct replacement motorcycle bulb and is designed for the vibration on a bike, has the same amp draw as a stock light, but puts out a lot more light. It's real close to HID lights.
Check it out>>> http://www.jpcycles.com/productgroup.aspx?GID=83384A80-EEF4-4C71-97CE-2FD46EB0899F&search=H4%20bulbs&store=All&a mp;page=1
And, no they don't overheat and no they do not overload the wiring. Iwired my driving lights to stay on all the time, and again they do not overload the circuit!!!!!
You won't beleve the light they put out!!!
