Auxiliary lights/Headlight upgrade

Additionally be aware as to how many L.E.D.s are used. I replaced all of my lighting with L.E.D.s which means I my regulator/rectifier would be working harder to regulate voltage due to lower demands. I am also running a lithium battery so I chose to use a mosfet R/R. Just my .02 cents.

I got the HID because of the price. I may go with the LED like Jon has when I can afford it. Still has a H2 high beam. SUCKS THE POWER.

I want to keep the original lighting setup at this point, and prefer white and bright, without the blue color.
For that, what is the best readily available H4 bulb to buy? :S

A blue tint is more noticeable. You can get good ones at any auto parts store.

NO blue tint...please! :whistle:

Is there a specific bulb available that will suit my stated need? Just looking for the simplest improvement over the standard 55/60 watt bulbs available everywhere, one of which I have.

Can't tell ya, SHT canned mine. :whistle:

All quiet on the western front.

I used to run Sylvania H4 lights. Depending on how much you want to spend, dictates how bright you can go. H4 for cars are the same as bikes.

You may want to check out this one.
Sylvania Silver Start, it's bright white and designed for motorcycle vibration.

Been looking at the SilverStar Ultra 9003 H4 to replace the standard/basic bulbs I've been using forever.
Any members having success using that one?

You want to stay away from any bulb with a colored lens. This acts like a filter and reduces light output. A different filament is used to compensate which burns out quickly.

Phillips Xtreme Power would be a better choice.
