Author Message   Smokin_joe Posted on Saturday, June 28, 2008 - 09:18 am:        I just bought an 08 XT, and a friend of mine who has an 06 Uly recommended that I get brighter headlights. He went with 65w bulbs, but pointed me to some 100w Xenon H7 bulbs from Hella. Is there any risk of these bulbs getting too hot for either the mounting or wiring?   Dano_12s Posted on Saturday, June 28, 2008 - 09:48 am:        YES!Ultra Silverstars are good choice-same watts as OEM.   Xbimmer Posted on Saturday, June 28, 2008 - 10:31 am:        I liked Silverstars for awhile but they kept burning out too fast on my bike. Better to get one of these from BadWebber Gme: A good solid mount for mounting some real lighting and it'll help you burn off that nasty extra power from your voltage regulator...   Ft_bstrd Posted on Saturday, June 28, 2008 - 11:01 am:        I like HID option my self. I have 200Watts of power and much less heat than stock 55W bulbs.   Johnboy777 Posted on Saturday, June 28, 2008 - 07:41 pm:        FWIW, Xenon bulbs run a lot cooler than halogen - I had Silverstars, as well, on my Jeep Liberty and went through 4 bulbs in 3 years. .   Rwven Posted on Saturday, June 28, 2008 - 07:49 pm:        Same problem with Silverstars here.   Black_buelly Posted on Saturday, June 28, 2008 - 08:37 pm:        Were can I get one of those sweet mounts. Does Gme still sell them. Thanks   Dano_12s Posted on Sunday, June 29, 2008 - 07:36 am:        Silverstars improved w/ultra bulbs.They last much longer.   Gme Posted on Sunday, June 29, 2008 - 10:16 pm:        Yeah I got them, pm me if you need one. Thanks Gary   Froggy Posted on Monday, June 30, 2008 - 08:31 am:        Had silverstars on my Uly and PIAA H7 bulbs on my SS, both are great. Only had them on the Uly for a month before the wreck. I bought my SS with them already installed, so i dont know exact mileage, but i put about 8k on the bike myself. I also have Silverstar bulbs on my car, they burned out left and right, but the Silverstar Ultras i put in Jan 12th 2007 haven't burnt out yet.
