You may run the risks, my friend, but I do the cutting. We cut down my percentage---uh, cigar?---liable to interfere with my aim.

Piaa super plasma bulbs are the most HID looking non-HID bulbs...forget the others trust me. Either get an HID conversion or the Piaa super plasma. Check out the bottom of this page: http://www.piaa.com/Bulbs/Bulbs-H4.html |

I just put in the Phillips X-treme and it is noticeably brighter than stock, but my old hi beam had burnt out and fouled the inside of the bulb so it looked extra dim before. $40 shipped from the UK for a pair.

Found some Sylvania Silverstars Ultras on ebay for 20 bucks. They say 9003 HB2 or H4 compatible. Are these the ones I want? Here is the auction. |

So I just picked up a single Sylvania Silverstar Ultra and put it in tonight. I really like the white light and it is plenty bright for me.  I did notice that when I was behind someone in a lower type car my light was right in the passenger cabin. I pretty much have the light aimed where it should be but I put it where I feel comfortable with where it is aimed when I ride, not in the garage. Should I leave it where it is at or lower it keep from pissing people off? |

Put yourself in the car, then make your decision.

Your owners manual gives exact measurements to aim the headlight. Any time you adjust the suspension, you should adjust the headlight.

I've followed the manual and I think I like the headlight to be a little higher so I can see more of the road. Obviously this is what is pissing people off. I guess a better question should have been should I have it where I feel comfortable of where it is supposed to be.
