H4ST is the silver star H4, the 9003 is the exact same bulb, but the filament is mounted differently somehow. It'll fit (exact replacement), but it won't last as long. Sylvania states:

H4 SilverStar Headlight
High Performance Halogen Headlight - Dual filament for both high beam and low beam - For Motorcycle Use - part number: H4ST

+1 on the Silver Star, and most all auto parts stores have them.

Start taking the herb "Bilberry"

The plant’s most absurd use, was in the form of marmalade from bomber pilots in second world war, since it improved night vision and ensured a quick adaptability to darkness… Surprisingly modern research of bilberry was based on its use by British World War II pilots who ate the jam prior to bombing raids[1].

it can take a few weeks for it to help in night vision. Other info I read yrs ago that it helps in the production of retina purple which aids in night vision.

I use to use it, funny thing, been on it a few weeks, then one night walking up the steps to my bedroom, It seemed that it was brighter going up the steps, I turned around thinking I had left a light on in the living room or kitchen, but was dark, then realized I had been on the Bilberry for a few weeks, and it finally kicked in. Myself and my sister saw an improvement with night vision, my brother inlaw said he did not
