Need new passing lamps

[juggler]

One of my passing lamps burned out. Does any one have suggestions as to a good brand replacement and where to buy? The ones I have are el-cheapo lamps. Not very bright. I would like them a bit brighter.

I use the H3 halogen. I buy them from Susquehanna Motorsports. They are about 1/5 what Mamayamaha wants. You can get the 55 watt instead of the stock 35 watt. I"ve found that oncoming drivers do not tolerate 55 watt lamps well at night. I've even had people flash their lights at me in the day when I run the 55 watt. I find the 35 watt well tolerated by oncoming traffic even at night.

 

I tried it with the left lamp 35 watt and the right lamp 55 watt, and aimed the right lamp a bit toward the right side of the road to help illuminate deer and such. People still flashed their high beams at me.

 

Best of luck.
