Daymakers

[duo1983]

I have an 06 1600 nomad and I'm looking to upgrade the lights to daymakers does anyone have any tips for me on doing this?

I'm researching H4 bulbs, I have a '05 800 and heard of the Philips X-treme Vision +130 and came across these below, are they any good? should I buy them and try?
or forget it. Maybe these +130 bulbs are only for night time. dunno.

I just put this in mine. It is brighter and whiter than stock, just looking at it in the daylight. I haven't tried it at night yet. But with how it looks during the day it should be better at night.

OK, please let me know how it works at night, did you have to do any moding to make it fit

I didn't do the daymaker, I just put in what degreaser was looking at, Philips X-treme Vision +130% Headlight Bulbs. They are direct replacement bulbs. I just could justify the money for a led setup, I hardly ever ride at night.

Check these out. This is what I'm running. Lights up the world.
Less than 2 amps of current.

Thx will do

ok, I remove the SilverStar Ultra and installed a new Philips X-Treme Vision +100% H4 bulb and in the garage it appears a brighter whiter light, not sure of the K number, maybe around 3700K, I didn't buy the Philips +130, I had the +100% new pack of 2 in my storage bin so went with those. I like the white light of them.

well after I was doing some checking on H4 bulbs, I can't seem to see the Philips Xtreme Vision +100% available for sale on any site, only the Philips +130% are being sold. The only differences I saw between the +100 and the +130 is the expected lifespan of the bulb. I think low beam is the same on both from what I saw, the high beam on the +130% bulb is probably a little hotter and thus has a shorter lifespan, I don't ride much on high beam though so don't need the +130 bulbs but looks like that's the only option cause the +100% ones are gone.

This site has some options, Degreaser:

when I clicked on your link, it goes to amazon.ca, it says $47.87 cdn $5.54 shipping, so no customs duty to Canada? or yes? Cool White 6000K, 4000LM (<- is that Lumen higher than the Philips Xtreme Vision +100% H4 bulb I just installed yesterday?, I think that Philips is 3700K) and is your LED plug and play? looks like it has a small running fan on the back of it, did it fit into your stock headlight bucket? I think my '05 800 headlight bucket size is the same as on your nomad, not sure.

Yeah it takes me there too, weird, go to amazon.com and look them up, they're $20 USD

Almost 3x the lumens of the Phillips ones you listed from what I can tell.
