PIAA Powersports Bulb H4 Xtreme White?

[airtrons]

I saw those on Adventure Motostuff (http://www.amotostuff.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=70856&Category_Code=dl650_electrical) and was wondering about the actual benefit in increase light in front of the bike.

I've had experiences in the past (cars) where the output of the light was indeed much whiter, but the amount of light (lumens) was less than the standard halogen bulbs. Thus, the net result was less darkness penetration in front of the vehicle.

Anybody uses those on their bike? I drive in the desert at night, and on a cloudy moonless night it gives a new meaning to 'dark'... I don't want to install aux lights (...yet).

I had a pair of these on my first DL650. It was mostly a change in color. I can't say they were brighter.

I had one of these in my KLR and also did a harness upgrade at the same time. The difference was amazing. On group rides I always had someone ask me if I had my headlight on high beam because it was so bright and they could pick me out so easily in a group of bikes in the mirror.

I had the PIAA lights on my Beemer and they were great. I wired them into my high beams with a relay. Use the powersports 35w lights so you don't overide you elec system. I'm putting the same on my DL1000.

I really like the Xtreme Plus PIAA bulbs! Very very bright with less yellow light.
