Has anyone replaced the original (main) headlights? I have a 08 and these are the ones that came on the trike. I'm looking for something brighter. Thanks for any response.

Try my best to never ride at night, but would be interested in the answer, also. Also thinking of adding modulating or led strobes.
Check this thread and you can see what I did. Rick

I have thoroughly searched TECHNICAL info concerning hid "aftermarket" lights.1st-without a housing designed for hid< just installing the bulb&ballast will not properly "throw" the light beam(which may result in light beam shining into eyes of oncoming traffic) 2nd,a high beam hid takes time to achieve brightness & does not"instantly" turn off-technically aftermarket hid light kits ARE NOT DOT approved.many police are trained to check for aftermarket kits when stopping a vehicle with head lights out of adjustment. there are aircraft hid lights-sold with the proper housing& are instant on&off---expensive but worth the price.i have 120watt helas on each side of front cowl &are very bright for running these mountains at night. thank you
Thanks for the info.
Ed, I have been looking also and this seems kinda good:

Thanks Dean, I replaced the driving lights with one of the ones shown. This winter when I can't get any riding in I plan on taking out the main headlight assembly and seeing what I can do with them. Thanks for all your info.
Gorilla needs to chime in here as he replaced their bulbs and they were much brighter but I can not remember the brand and part number. A little help here Ted...

I just replaced the stock bulb with the same size PIAA super bright bulb. I put the same bulb in the both sides so if the low beam does burn out I can switch the high beam bulb over. Don't hardly ever use the high beam with these bulbs. I could not find a part number. I must have had a senior moment and thrown the box away.
