The #6024 Sylvania sealed beam gets great reviews
It fits the bucket plug & play

I use the Sylvania Silverstar H4 headlight bulb. The model H4ST is specifically designed for motorcycles and has a one year warrantee. MUCH brighter than stock. The car model H4 bulbs didn't last very well but the H4ST has been in for over a year and is still going strong. There is also a SilverStar sealed beam that I think is the correct size if you go that way, the H6024 SilverStar Sealed Beam Headlight. It's even a tiny bit brighter.

I have the 5-3/4" Mariah shell from Headwinds and the 5-3/4" 'Trillient' headlight, with H4 bulb, Tri-bar & Blue Dot from Adjure. Suprisenly I think it's brighter than the stocker that I had on there! Even for how much smaller it is. The pics can be seen at my myspace account at: Joe's Myspace

I have a 6" stretched billet from K C International. I usually reccomend J&P but K C has the same kind of lights much cheaper. I paid $100 for my 6" stretched billet tri-bar headlight. Watch those though they don't bolt right on you have to move them forward a little to clear the frame. I moved mine way forward and up.

Any auto parts store should have a generic round sealed beam. They used to use them in chevy pickups etc.

I looked at getting a #6024 Sylvania sealed beam. Not available in N.Z. or Aussi. I found some info on the web though. I ended up ordering through Brent a Xenon/Krypton lamp that went right in. It’s a H 4 8500K H.I.D.. Comes in a plastic box with 2 lamps. Brent has them listed www.newspeedmaster.com . I do some night rides to another city 3 hrs away. Plenty of light and heaps better than the stock one.

I had the Sylvania for a long time, far better than stock. I didn't like the rectangular beam on dark, twisty roads, so I got one of these. I opted for the 100 watt blue bulb, the thing has worked great (5 months, 2500 miles).

Hey Lonzo, is that a direct plug-in replacement?
