I put a PIA Extreme White headlight bulb in

[shikano53]

Hi, I changed out the stock bulb with a PIA Extreme White headlight bulb. It is considerably brighter than the stock bulb.

 

Anyone else ever use a PIA bulb in their headlight? I'd be curious to know how you liked it or the difference in other bulbs some people have used.

 

Thank you in advance.

I got talked into PIAA for my 1st gen (88VR) by a reputable bike shop (Zdeno's in Kitchener). While I find the bulb to be an improvement, I was expecting more. Marcarl told me that he noticed improved visibility, but only on bright beam, which I now leave on all the time for that reason.

I used a PIAA Intense White H4 bulb in my RSV and really liked it.

 

IIRC it puts out 5000 K light which is more like daylight than the 4000 K light from the Xtreme White Plus bulbs.

Actually I personally think the PIAA bulbs are highly overrated. I had these ones left over and thought I would use. Anything is better than stock.

 

I bought them for my 2006 HD Electra Glide. I had purchased Harleys version of a better bulb and was quite surprised after swapping out to the PIAA that it wasn't nearly as good or bright as the upgraged Harley bulb.

 

Oh well,

Live and learn.

I have Piaas in my 1992 GMC Typhoon for 15 years, never a problem, Plus my 92 Volvo, my Venture and Kaw, Versys. It's the first thing I change when I get a different ride.

My Typhoon has 120,000 and I do not think I ever replaced the bulbs. It might be time to get a newer generation bulb.
