I have them in the head light and in the passing lamps. HUGE difference compared to stock hallogen bulbs.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #290169 Clifford (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1781 Re:headlight bulbs 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Automotive bulbs burn out quick because they are not vibration resistant. Some bikes don't have the problem because they for some reason don't have vibes that others are prone to. The PIAA bulbs are made for bikes and are vibration resistant. I have PIAA Super Plasma bulbs in my headlight and in the passing lights, and I haven't seen anything better!

Moderator Posts: 2051 Re:headlight bulbs 1 Year, 11 Months ago   I'm running the silverstar as well. It's been in for about 3 years and I run the light on high beam 100% of the time and there's a modulator circuit attached. It's still burning bright as ever. -M7   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #290266 old dog (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1603 Re:headlight bulbs 1 Year, 11 Months ago   Is this the Super Plasma you have? I've been thinking about getting the one at the bottom of the page. Do you like it? why the change? http://www.piaa.com/Bulbs/Bulbs-H4.html I have the Xtreme White Plus. It seems the Super Plasma is the brighter of the two. I am night blind and need all the help I can get. also thinking of going with the Super Plasma H3 in my passing lamps they are rated at 5000k also. Looking forward to your test to see if the Silverstars are brighter. bill   Logged     110 cu in., PR/JE 10.25:1 HC pistons, PR Cam, PR adjustable push rods, PR stage II ported heads (2mm oversize valves)   The administrator has disabled public write access. #290295 bsnider (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 59 Re:headlight bulbs 1 Year, 11 Months ago   I put in a true HID kit that burns at 6500K as well as two ultra bright triple one watt led bulbs in my kuryakayn light bar....They are super bright and such a bright white that they grab attention too...Other bikes I ride with comment on how far my lighting seems to go...   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #290358 nightstar57 (User) ride it like ya paid for it .. Platinum Boarder Posts: 2937 Re:headlight bulbs 1 Year, 11 Months ago   I had the super plasma in my bike..until now.I just installed the silverstar ultra and the difference is remarkable.The light is much wider on the road,it is more natural in "color"..the plasma light was harsh and mine was shaking on the road..probably on its way out anyway.The low beam on the ultra has a nice wide sweep of the road and the high beam works just as well..if it does not burn out fast it will be well worth the $50.00 for our 2 road*s.. btw,the insects show up really well around here at night..   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #290382 Clifford (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1781 Re:headlight bulbs 1 Year, 11 Months ago   old dog wrote: Is this the Super Plasma you have?
