What are you guys running for headlight bulbs? - Ducati.ms

So the other day i went for a nice LONG ride with a bunch of buddies. We rode all day long and into the night. That is when i realized that my low beam was blown out. Lucky i stopped at the local auto parts store that was closing at 9 pm and they had a H4 Sylvania Xtravision bulb in stock. I must have blown the bulb out when i came down a little hard after a long wheelie

I was just wondering if anyone here has been in the same boat as me and what bulbs are long lasting if this is to happen again.

I have the PIAA Xtreme white. Just waiting to get my bike from the dealer to put them in. I ordered the wrong ones though I should of got the ones with anti vibe. Here is a link for them.

PIAA Replacement Bulb: H4 60/55W 110/100W Xtreme White Anti-Vibration 2 Pack - Whitehorse Gear

From what I have read they last fairly long and dont break easily.

I originally wanted to change my bulb to bright yellow which you can find all over ebay for around $10. Mostly because I almost never ride at night and want to stand out on the road to all the sunday drivers. I know if I did go the cheap yellow bulb route if I did have to ride at night the yellow would have terrible output.

Hoping the motovision is a good compromise on look as well as output. From philips website...

"Philips MotoVision produces a unique orange reflection that creates a super aggressive look and helps differentiate motorcycles from the general road traffic."

Haven't seen too much info on these bulbs online, I will report back.

What happens when the turn signal is on and you press the brake?
