Replacement headlight bulb for '04 R1150RT?

[AltheBiker]

What have you people replaced the standard headlight bulb in the '04 R1150RT with? I'm wanting a higher wattage...more light down-road type light than what the bike came with and would like to know what's worked for y'all. I've added Motolights for extra visibility to others...but want some extra light punching thru the nite for my tired old eyes. I could just ride in daylight hours...but sometimes I just can't quit.

The Phillips Vision Plus and Osram/Sylvania Silver Star in the stock wattage give a bit more light. Higher wattage bulbs require relays to save your switches. Relays with stock bulbs produce more lighht. Heat can also be a problem with high wattage bulbs.
