Headlight Bulbs!

Silverstar are automobile bulbs, not designed for vibration and shock from motorcycle use.
You need a motorcycle bulb like a PIAA motorcycle bulb that is made to withstand vibrations and shock. I had a set of PIAA bright white bulbs I used on two Harley's for over 4 years and 40,000 miles before I purchased my Goldwing. I plan to use them again if I am crazy enough to get another POS Harley.
DON'T TOUCH THE BULB, clean with alcohol before installing, as mentioned a single fingerprint can reduce the life considerably.

If your riding 8-10K per year that makes sense on only lasting 18mo. I still think 20.00 is cheap to be seen. I ride with the same group of guys alot and I am the only one who uses a Silverstar, manytimes have been told wow are your lights brighter than the rest There is no comparison between a Silverstar & regular H4 lamp Day or Night.
I waste 20.00 on alot of things every 18 mo. that wont help me be seen.

I'd hate to add up all of the $20's I waste in 18 months!!!
I like to see were I'm going so I guess I'll keep ponying up the $1.11 a month so I can see what I could/would have hit without finding out the hard way
