chevysoldier Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meanie Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AOW Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 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. at $45/each, not cheap but totally worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jporter12 Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I thought about a HID a while back, I just have trouble justifying it with as few miles I ride in the dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
