Did a search, no results. My MP3/500 uses H8 bulbs, so far have not found any better replacements in the sutostores. Has anyone found something?

H8 is your bulb size. In terms of lighting technology, the best you can get is Xenon HID. Use google to search for HID upgrade kits for motorcycles and have your dealer install them.

See example here (I clicked on the first hit in Google, but there are plently more out there): http://www.omnixautosports.com/h8-hid-xenon-kit-p/ed-h8-hid-kit.htm

In terms of output, the lower the color temperature, the whiter the light. The higher the temperature, the bluer the light. 5000/6000K temps are your best bet. The difference is illustrated if you follow the link above.

Your not going to get a dealer to install HID's in the US. Aftermarket HID lights are not legal in the US.
That said, they are very easy to install yourself.
These are the ones I bought www.ddmtuning.com/index.php?p=product&id=101&parent=60
Just got them Monday so they are not installed yet.

Thanks, was looking for just standard H8 bulbs of better lighting. Adding the HID with transformer is more then I really need. At $70 a set I may postpone this a little longer for more aftermarkets to catch up with H8 models, like Sylvania bulbs.
