Go to eBay and get the TRUE H.I.D. lights for motorcycles. Watch out because some of the junk they are selling is just a standard bulb with xenon gas in it. It gives you the blue color but not the high power light out put. HID stand for high intensity discharge. It is like a flash unit for a camera. Runs at a high speed so you don't see a flash. Bulbs last a lot longer too. http://motors.listings.ebay.com/ebaymotors/aw/plistings/category36476/index.html?from=R11

If you want the brightest and even a low power draw, go with and LED one. Kuryakyn sells the trucklite brand 7" and it will fit right into your stock bucket. I had an H.I.D. but this is brighter and you don't have to deal with a ballast, and high-low soloniod. Now the LED might not be the best looking when off, but it rocks when on!

Thanks for the info. I actually should have stated that I just wanted to change the bulb rather than the whole headlight. So is there a bulb recommendation. Thanks again!

Running the silverstar ultra as well, it's a nice bright white light. God I can just imagine what kind of crap I'm going to get for that last sentence.
