Lights

Since I was underwhelmed with the stock lighting I purchased a 1x 2014 High Power 30W Xenon White H4 9003 HB2 XM-L2 CREE LED Hi/Lo Motorcycle Headlight Bulb.
While it is a whiter ( slight blue tint ) bulb I really cannot see any better with this one. I need something to help these tired old eyes. Any recommendations ? ..

I used the Osram Silverstar and was very pleased with the results, I found them on Amazon. Very good quality and never had any problems. The dim light was more than satisfactory and when the bright light was in use there was no question about seeing at night.

Do not get confused with the Osram Sylvania because it is a lower quality bulb and will not last nearly as long. It appears Sylvania sub contracts the bulb from Osram and it is often found in auto parts stores.

The other version is the Osram Night Breaker and also has a good following. Definitely good lights and your eyes will appreciate it.

Get this. It's inexpensive, and the best thing you can buy for love or money.

This is a H-4 made by Hella for snowmobiles at 110 watts hi beam and 80 low beam. This will probably end your problem unless yer blind.

but the ultra only has something like 600 hours of bright beam life....but if you get it from oreilly's they give a one year warranty....best one i have found with out going over board for power use
