Has anyone changed the bulb in their headlight to make it brighter and if so what type of bulb?

 

Yup. Changed mine for a Austablue H4, but kept it the 60/55 rating.
Gives that super bright blue/white light all the rev-heads have in their Honda civics.
I'm sure you could upgrade to an 80/55 H4. As I know there is extra capacity in the charge coil.
Not sure of the exact figures.
Didn't bother as the different colour light made all the difference.

 

I know, I don't belong in this section. But I really liked the Sylvania Silverstar bulbs. There is a noticeable difference using them over stock bulbs. Whatever you choose, find a bulb that has a color temperature at or close to 6500k. That is considered the 'white' of white. Your eye sight will thank you.

 

LOL my bike light is brighter than the two lights on my Dodge truck, no complaints here.

 

Are you stillusing the factorybulb Deej?

 

Yes, I haven't changed anything in there. On high beam (of which I have used 95%of the time) is plenty bright. Maybe I need to look into the Dodge lights to see what's up. Maybe I'm comparing the bike to something that is sub par to begin with.

 

You may just have a poorly aligned headlight. Unless your dealer has someone that weighs exactly what you do the light won't be aimed correctly. You need a measuring tape and some electrical or any colored tape. I believe you go 20-25 feet away from a wall with the front tire. You have to mark on the wall at a certain height and adjust the light beam to have the brightest point where your tape mark is. Takes all of 10 minutes and its in the owner's manual. I can get the dimensions later as I'm at the office presently.

 

Jeez ya think?

 

You meant my lights not the Dodge truck right?[8D] Hey I'm sending you a pm about the meeting last night.

 

I realigned the headlight on mine and it made a big difference (still got the stock one).
