Hmmmm, interesting one Migs....I looked at these Philips bulbs when I was working my way through all the bulbs after first getting my baby.

I decided against them as I've noticed the glare that comes off some cars with them fitted (I find the tint VERY distracting - but maybe that would be a good thing on a bike ???)

I went for the standard halogen bulb and must admit in the two times Ive ridden in the dark so far I've been disappointed with the performance of the standard 'square' headlight.

Maybe the tinted or a high output bulb (100W hee hee) might be the way to go - let us know how it works out please.

BTW - someone on Ebay sold a 93 SS like mine with the headlight fitted from a Yamaha Xj900 and claimed it was a better headlight - we never did get to the bottom of that nugget mind....

Good luck - Frank
