'01 1500 which head light bulb?

sonny · 07-22-2012, 08:39 PM

Low beam went dark so I'm looking at the J&P wish book. Soooo many choices. They aren't listed by make or model. Are the halogens universal plug ins? Then the H4s are 55/60, 90/100, 80/100, 100/130 AND THEN clear, yellow, blue, and what the spit "rainbow". Man I have gotten old. It used to be buy a sealed beam or bulb and stick it in. Any info, suggestions, or what are you using will be great.
Thanks for your time

The 55/60 is the stock H4 used in our bikes.

Does the color make much difference in seeing or being seen?
Thanks for your time

Either stock 55/60, or 80/100 in white light is what I would be after.

Most any car parts store will have Wagner bulbs like this in stock. Since they will think it's for a car, or some 4x4 off road buggy it won't have that MC price tag...

By any car parts store I mean like a NAPA which is steeper than say O' Rley's (sp)
