I'm using these

http://www.shopatron.com/product/product_id=PIA70375/353.0.13762.0.0.0.0#longdes cPIA70375

They help some because the light is whiter, but to be honest I don't know that the put out more light.

Wow... Just when I thought I found the answer... So you say its not a Day and Night Difference Been talking to this dude on ebay now and he swears by them ..all hype talk perhaps... Damn

those one claim the same hype 55 = 110 but they have that blue tint..don`t think that wd. matter though..so Guess I`m still looking for an answer...

I have PIAA 85W bulbs. The first time I started the bike and saw the "difference" I can only say that I was greatly disappointed. I also was looking for the holy grail to fix our stupid f* lights. Look elsewhere.

Thanks Guys I am still on the Computer wasting time, to find an answer and not break the bank at the same time,
Wish they wd. have put some time into R&D in their light section... I mean lights are important are they not???

i dont know if they are the same as the lighting bulbs, but i just got the ones from american sport bike, they are a little brighter, but they are nice and white so they are much better, unless you go with some HIDs, you are not gonna get a big difference with just bulbs, dont be fooled by people saying " just like HID "

well.. i have learned a nice lesson with high out put bulbs( it seems i learn the hard way!!!) i put in 85w bulbs and fried my low beam wiring... too much for the wires. as soon as the light flickered i would tap it. Thought the wire was loose. blew an ignition fuse. was drawing to much power. i heard of this before but have run higher output bulbs in my car and never had a problem... well sh!t happens to me.. so beware and becarefull

YEah I knew that you couldn`t put higher wattage in, just that these Piaa bulbs claim the same wattage input but their design = 110 watts ...But as everyone has said here thats a bunch of crap...
