And they are VERY bright...

I'd like to get a little brighter as well with my lights.   Logged     2008 Harley Crossbones.

If you go with a newer brighter bulb you notice a big difference. I use the Silverstar and it's same wattage as stock but much whiter.

I've got the Silverstar 9003 in the headlight and Silverstar H3s in the passing lamps. I blind People, but I see where I'm going AND I get seen, that's for darn sure.
