|  2001 V-Star Classic need brighter headlight Got a 2001 V-star 1100 classic and have noticed that head light out-put is sub par and that other bikes I have ridden have far stronger lights. With that said, I want to put a new brighter light on and have a couple of questions. Are there any suggested lights out there? Will a stronger brighter light require electrical up grades or will current electrical system support a brigher light. Is installation of this new light difficult. Any comments will be greatly appreciated, thanks again.

|  I think your bike takes a H4 bulb, My GZ250 takes a H4 and I replaced it with a 9003 "Cool Blue" automotive bulb. The bulb has a blue tint to it that makes it a cleaner white light. I have had this bulb in for 15,000 miles and have had no problems with it.

| When I got my M50 the light sucked-I reaimed it-huge difference. I then installed Silver Star H4 bulb (everybody here said it was awesome) only little better than re-aiming. btw-when I re-aimed I set it as high as I could without getting flashed by oncomming traffic-now not much use for high beem.
