Hi-bright or Halogen 1157 bulb

[1sttenor]

 

Has anyone changed out or know someone who have changed their rear running/brake light bulb to the brighter so-called halogen bulb? I know they're not really halogen, but they are brighter and slightly hotter. If anyone has, have you seen a degradation of your tail lens?

 

Thanks in advance for your responses!

They actualy could be halogen!!!!

 

 

I have not tried halogen auxilary lamps in a bike yet, but I had halogen backup lamps in a car once.

 

 

Dont forget about 2356 bulbs....

I replaced mine with an amber 1157 bulb. The bulb seems to be brighter, plus the amber light through the red lens is an oddball color that grabs attention.

Red mounted some kind of heavy duty lights to his trunk on his RSV. Looked good and you sure could see those flashers!

The 2057 is quite a bit brighter, at least the brake filament is. The running light filament is the same.

Skip it and go straight to the LED board. It's worth the money. I even thought so when I bought my 1st one at $135 and now they're $60.

Add the run/stop/turn LED signals and she's bright enough to fry the cager behind you.
