Does anyone use a 90/100 watt headlight bulb?

At $17.00 a pair, I figured if they only lasted a year it would still be worth it and I would just replace the whole set but so far they are still working just fine, haven't even had to replace the bulbs yet.

After carousing around the net I found that the Silverstar had a lot of positive feedback. It is a white light. I'm not entirely convinced but I am only out twenty bucks if I don't like it. Plus I could use it as a spare. We will see.

OSRAM bulb and a VTX headlight bucket.  Night and day difference.  I upgraded to the VTX bucket first, made quite a difference in the light output and distribution even with the stock bulb.  Then I added an Osram bulb, and that also made a noticable light output difference.  I never tried the stock bucket with an Osram bulb though.

My opinion, as was stated before, is the stock bucket is your biggest light output holdback.  I'm also not a fan of the "high" output bulbs.  Too much risk from the extra draw and heat.  There are better ways to increase light output without going this route.
