Headlight Bulbs

My Thundercat's headlight is pretty crap, What bulbs do you recommend? I desperately need to change the current one to something brighter

I've got four H4 headlight bulbs from emergency bulb kits that I have lying around and they are all rubbish!

LED? Single bulb correct? You can get them for £30 now.

I never thought of LED

I just need something brighter

But yes it's single bulb H4 high/low beam.

I'll probably be buying one of these end of the month http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121877123521?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&var=420870429107&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT - I know IC3 has an LED on his SV650 headlight, single H4 bulb.

Some things are just overkill. Being in front of lights like this in the rain make your mirrors useless

I replaced mine with "OSRAM NIGHT BREAKER UNLIMITED". They're so much better now.

Also replaced the small W5W with "OSRAM COOL BLUE INTENSE W5W". All of the lights are now the same white temperature and bright.

I was really confused for a moment I swore I'd read this exact thread before and then realised you've posted on BCF as well

LED all the way.

I do

Its the same one you posted, I think 4300k would be more effective though.

Quite.
Between 4000K and 5000K is nice and white. It starts to get too blue any higher than that.

Idk if its too blue, its really white with a tiny hint of blue.
