Anyone have any good Headlight upgrade suggestions?

[SamHuskyguy]

After riding in the dark a couple times, I realize the headlights on this 2008 GS are terrible. I searched headlight upgrades and couldn't find anything that provided a good upgrade to the current lights. I believe the design of the headlights is probably the culprit. Anyone have any good suggestions on how to get better headlights for riding after dark?

.... I use the FAHREN brand and they work very very well ... 16,000 lumens .... or you can get higher - get the ones without the fan .....Mike

Actually just did this upgrade on my RSS. I ended up using the 22000 lumen AUXBEAM bulbs and it definitely made a big different. Check out my video I made.

Consider adding auxiliary lights such as Denali.

I doubt mine would fit your 2010 ..... read the above post # 4. ..... His was an H-7 LED but it was for the RSS and You have an RT which has different style headlights ..... but check your owner's manual and see what it says ....Mike

In the video they look the same. But I'll check the owners manual. Auxbeam does make various replacement types, so hopefully they have a set that will fit mine. I might take DickB's advice and add auxiliary lights as well.

langevn, That's what I was thinking about using. I'm hoping they work. Also, my projector beam lenses look cloudy. Is there a way to clean them inside?
