Default Bulb Replacements for 2012 FLHTK

I love my new 2012 HD Electra Guide Ultra Limited, but I want to enhance my lighting concerning the Head Light, Passing/Running Lights, Brake Light and Turn Signals. I want to be seen at night because driving in Houston is dangerous enough during the day. I do not want to spend a lot of $$$, but hope to do this by bulb replacements. I'm looking for recommendations, part numbers, websites, etc.. that will help me accomplish my goal, if this is possible?

I went down the higher output bulb road on my single headlight street glide. They never lasted very long, and they tended to burn out at in-opportune times.

Ended up putting in a truck light LED, and it is fantastic. Plug and Plan, and should last forever. Gives a ton more light, much better contrast and, less anxiety when it gets dark.

Believe the HD LED's are even better, but they cost twice as much.

Not as cheap as bulbs, but is once and done.

I put a new reflector from Daniel Stern Lighting in my ultra, made a big difference in the lighting from the headlight, and he has a selection of bulbs, std to high powered to use in them. I use a std bulb since the reflector now puts the light where it can be used.

The Hd led spotlights throw a nice bright wide beam.The cibie headlight from Stern is a good idea,along with a relay from www.easternbeaver.com As far as turn signals go,i use Radiantz led's with "drugz technology" on the front, www.radiantz.com . If you have the $$,the HD led tourpack light is a killer.

It's not cheap but I figure I have one life and I want to preserve it. HD LED for headlight and aux lights. Custom Dynamics LED turn signals and tourpak lights, BAL-1 brake lights. The CD RTB module and adapter which makes ALL the lights back there flash when braking. Going to look at the CD front fender LED next Thunder Beach at PCB where they will likely have a booth.

EDIT; I also add the HD adapter cord which keeps the aux lights on with high beam.
