I would go with the OPT7 Cree h4's, get them thru Amazon, great service, totally dependable, nice bright white light, really lights the road up. 4+ years in all kinds of abuse and still going strong....

I've got the H4 LED from www.xenondepot.com. Super easy plug and play installation, very bright, and will likely last the life of the bike. I've got my order in right now for the LED signal bulbs and tail bulbs.

Will this fit an 06 1600 nomad? I went to Amazon and the site says that it doesn't fit

What about these H4 Philips X-treme?
plug and play, I got a package of 2 that are new and unused in my storage cabinet, should I put 1 in my '05 800? are they any good? I did have HID on my old '04 1500 classic but changing over to HID was a major job.
