Which lights work better on light bars, bulb or sealed?

Scoot · 01-12-2008, 06:35 AM

I'd have to say sealed. my 2c

I think bulb are brighter and sealed last longer,

dogdoc · 01-12-2008, 09:19 AM

Take a look on Ebay for the lights, Harley has some nice sealed units available. There are lightbars there also sometimes.

But they are not as bright. Wouldn't you want the brightest bulb you can get?

+1 TC, my Cobra spots are so bright they will blind drives if not adjusted properely. Do have to change out a $8 filament once in a while but not often. :-)

Yeah Doc, I had a bulb go and bought a replacement for it and at the same time bought two sealed beams. I figured if the bulbs went real often I would install the sealed units. I haven't had a bulb go since. The sealed units are on the shelf in the garage just in case.

I've got sealed beams and they look yellow compared to the head light.

dogdoc · 01-30-2008, 08:33 PM

yes oldbiker, sealed beams suck(yellow), bulb spots are way brighter and white. ++++
