I have read posts in the past about upgrading headlight bulbs and there were issues with installing ballists and more wiring. Can we just install the newer brighter H4 bulbs without any other modifications. Thanx for any input in advance...

I know the bike headlight is rated for a 55 watt bulb. But i have been using a 100 watt bulb for 2 years with no issue. Most of the buell headlight assembly is glass and metal so nothing to really melt.

Yellow with a 35w ballast or more of a lime green with a 55w ballast.
