Headlight Question-BP1260/H4

Recommended Posts

Okay, so I have noticed my lights seem awfully dim at night. My bike uses BP1260/H4 Bulbs x2 (dual filament) I have heard that bulbs will dim slightly over time. I figure these are probably original. Does anyone now if this is true? Or know of brighter (but not too hot) replacement bulbs? Thanks.

I replaced my stock bulb with a Sylvania Silverstar. The difference is night and day....literally. They are available at most auto parts stores. I think I got mine at Advanced Auto Parts for $19. I will replace it with the same thing when this one burns out. Two of my friends also replaced theirs after seeing the difference it made on mine.

Good Luck

I recently upgraded my headlight to HID. The set up from DDM Tuning is completely plug n play. When I did a night ride through the Hollywood Hills w/couple of folks, I stayed to the rear of the group and my headlight lit their way. Ballasts even come w/no hassle life time warranty. Never seen a brighter headlight.

Ditto that. Best light for the money spent. I bought H4ST SilverStar for $16.18 on line, amazon dot com, free shipping, and with a rebate.

There are dozens of different types, make sure you get the right one.

Which options did you choose? The price isn't bad considering some popular systems.

Hmm, I think I might go that route. At at about the same price for stock bulbs, not bad.

If I had 90 bucks to throw at the bike right now, I would. But I will put this on the back burner for later.
