Hi all,
After nearly getting mowed down this weekend by some stupid SOB I've come to the conclusion I need to be better seen.
I see Brent sells a brighter bulb but is that the brightest out there?
Thanks, Craig

I bought the Sylvania "Silver Star" at Autozone for about $20. Lots brighter and clearer light.

I bought mine through Brent and it works great! Drove home Sunday night for about an hour in the dark on a wicked stormy night with no problem on Low beams. And the High Beam is massively bright! The bulbs are cheap and quick to replace - you really can't go wrong either way I suppose Anything's better than the dim, stock, yellowish bulb.

Brent's light is great. I highly recommend it. Plenty of folks have noticed how bright my beam is. I get plenty of coverage at night, and the cages absolutely love it.
