Hello all.
I would like to swap out my current lightbulbs (headlight, tail light, turn signals, light bar) for new, brighter ones. Anybody have an idea what to get? I don't want to do anything but swap out bulbs. Is there such a thing as brighter bulbs that require nothing more than swapping out the existing bulbs w/out other modificaitons? Part numbers would be great, too! Thanks in advance.
I tried putting 100's in my light bar and it blew the fuse; went back to the stock 55's.

I switched to this headlight bulb

Used 2357 bulb in the tailight; added this kit to turn signals

Put PIAA 14561 bulbs into the light bar. The factory light bar is only 35 watts.
I love the lighting but just a warning about 55 watt light bar, bike will not start with the light bar turned on. It does fine if I remember to shut the bar off every time. Mine is wired so light bar is on even if the bike is not running. I even went to a higher amp battery! Considering upgrade to classic charge but am having no luck finding out if it is possible.
They are 35w for a reason. Some drifters will not be able to handle the 55w - especially if they have any other electrical stuff hooked up. If you do a lot of stop and go, short runs etc. the bike may fail to maintain a battery charge. Some can handle them fine, but be careful and aware of the potential.
