Went out for for what I thought would be a blast tonight,but where I live its not natural weather,it should be snow and ice and the bike tucked up for winter but with the temprature in the 50's its still biking weather BUT its dark and the lights are pathetic,in summer it never gets dark up here so I've never noticed before so I stuck around 50mph,you never know if one of those big and I mean big furry elks will jump out in front of you and with the lights being so pathetic there just wouldn't be time to stop,is there a more powerful bulb you can use?It seems old Joe Lucas,Prince of Darkness has come to haunt me.

I replaced my headlight bulb with a halogen bulb. Didn't cost much, available from any car parts shop (it's a H4 bulb), and a real improvement.

I keep thinking about a twin headlight conversion, but haven't got around to it yet. Anyone tried the Thunderbike (or similar)?
