These seem fairly dim. I can't find a name on them. Would like to upgrade the output, if possible. Thanks for any help/advice...  |

Wanna see like never before in the dark? These fit perfectly (4.5") in the Cobra shells. Wagner/GE H7604 - 100,000 candlepower 12 volts, 50 watts, 3.9 amps. Spot bulb beam: 7° wide and 5° high. These are used as Piper landing lights as well as marine applications. For motorcycle road use I strongly suggest you aim them in a criss-cross pattern and you'll never get flashed. With the criss-cross pattern each spot will then also light up the opposing curve while leaning. And, this pattern will only be experienced as a quick flash to oncoming traffic, not even long enough to dilate their pupils. I've used them for about 5 years in my Cobra's and once I criss-crossed them I have never been flashed, not even by Cops. Careful though. You shouldn't need to pay more then $20.00/ea., Napa sometimes tries to get $45.00/ea. |

I have Cobras and a friend has the ones you have. They're not Cobras. Maybe Sophies lights. Probably 30 watt incandescent bulbs.

DFragn, I looked at your link. They list those bulbs as only 100 hour life expectancy. Has this been on your bike long enough to either prove or disprove this? I run my lights a LOT and this would require me to replace them about once a month if it is accurate.
Thanks for your help.

Well, let's see. I've had mine in play for at about 45k miles and at a conservative average speed of say 45mph that divvies out to 1,000 hrs. 10x so far and don't seem to have even dimmed. I run them all the time for daytime visibility & the occasional night time deer hunting. |

Here is another option. Currently, I have the ones in the picture in mine. Oh, been in there for close to 230,000 miles, so I really don't think they are short life bulbs.... When ever they burn out, I'm going to get these. More light for less draw on the battery. GE H7616 they only use 36.5 watts and put out 70000 CP. Lights up the road very well. http://www.atlantalightbulbs.com/ecart/nw012104/GEH7616GENERALELECTRIC.htm |

That looks like the Rivco light bar. I have them on mine, have not had to replace yet. Check their site.
