    Looking to replace my huge (now that I shrunk my gauges) head light with a smaller (perhaps brighter) after market. Anyone have any ideas?

    Right now I am using the Sylvania Silverstar Ultra. It is about the brightest halogen bulb I have found.
    I am going to try a true HID in the stock headlight bucket to see what kind of light I get. I have the square Seca headlight.

    Peter,

    I'd be interested in your results - as I have the same and wanted to keep the square, but upgrade the light.

    Why would you wanna keep that square box. The round lights are timeless and mighty purdy

    Yeah, call me crazy but I like the 'different' look of the square lights.. I love the little driving light beneath it, even though it doesn't do much.
    Though, admittedly I like older bikes, so yeah.. that's probably why.

    Okay, let me try this again. Does anyone have a suggestion for an after market light (whole unit, not the bulb) that would be smaller and brighter? I am trying to shrink the look of the front end.

    Yep, looked there and his other one. Posted requests for sources or name of the lights on both. One site twice. Can't seem to pry that info from him. Perhaps a translation issue...

    Thanks Joe for trying to help and not debating the pros and cons of square vs round...
