Good point about the brightness. I think at cruising speed the RD is putting out 14V, 20 amps which in terms of wattage, is 180. AT idle it is probably outputting 70 watts. My headlights are definately brighter than the stock 35/50watt incandescent i took off. Keep in mind if you go higher, the wiring could be an issue. Mine has not been.
Halogen bulbs make the glass quite hot though.

Hey RD400, when i try to upload an image, it gives me this:

Could not upload attachment to ./files/64_9710453b0e6f9fee103048644cc5c8b3

Any thoughts?

thanks, apparently you can run 55W bulbs just fine without them being too dim...
