I beleive they are H7 bulbs -- should be able to find a bunch of differnt types easily, specially in the local Honda Civic with a Sewer Pipe Exhaust store -- conversely, entering h7 bulbs in google got me 146,000 results (off da!) -- couple of em should be of help, I would imagine ;-} | ||

Kybueller... using the silverstar h3's... I picked them up at autozone or oreillys... They are great... I live in the mountains and I can acutally see with my tented shield now...  I would suggest them for cost... 10-15 bucks a piece I think... XB9R | ||

Check out American Sport Bike - they sell aftermarket lights that have the stock draw but are definitely brighter and whiter. | ||

Yeah those Silverstars work very well,Nice and bright compared to stock. They only have one H7 type.You should be able to get'em under $50.00. | ||

XB's use H3 bulbs. | ||

Good eye Buelltroll H7 lamps are for the XBS H3 for the XBR That's right...dont listen to me...LOL I also have the H3 silverstars on my KTM and they seem brighter than the H7 I installed on the XB9S. At any rate they are better than stock. | ||

There are several kits available for about $300 that include two bulbs and ballasts. These would allow you to have an HID high beam. | ||

I use the PIAA crystal ion bulbs and they work awesome...they're pretty expensive though and they're supposed to be illegal for sale in the US. I've never had a problem...going on 3 yrs now. | ||

XBR uses Silverstar H3 from Kragen (in-stock). Cheap and quite a bit brighter than stock. Use two-one for high and one for low. And while you are at it take out the little deflector on the low beam.... | ||

Do you have to remove the entire front fairing to replace the bulbs?  | ||

Do you have to remove the entire front fairing to replace the bulbs? No. Rubber boot behind the lights pull back, giving you access to the bulb. |
