Kuryakyn is selling Xsighting Lighting products now (expensive as hell). American Thunder had a clip that showed their brightness compared to a stock bike riding side by side. It looked like a big difference. Other than cost, how would the Kuryakyn bulbs compare to the PIAA bulbs?

Here's a link and a writeup from their website...

Timely post. I was putting the fairing mirrors on my Ultra and messed up my headlight - bent a prong.
Of Course the Harley shops around here are closed on Sundays. I picked up a Sylvania Silverstar.
I will see how it does on the next night ride. I really liked the light I got out of the stock 06 Ultra.

 

Great post, I've been wanting to pick up a spare bulb to keep with me on the road...

So if I understand correctly, an H4 (does it matter the brand? I know I've got a Honda H4 in the garage in fact but didn't know it would fit my E-G) is standard in the H-D's? Is the Sylvania SilverStar 9003 an UPGRADE/IMPROVEMENT over the standard H4 and is it safe to use with the bike's existing wiring set-up?

Thanks!

 

How has the light been working? No heat problems?
