Headlight Bulbs!! Good Ones Finally!

[nspec]

After playing around a lot and reading even more, I've finally gotten a decent headlight bulb. Kubota B2630 - standard dynamo. Came with 1073 bulbs @ 23w each. Very dim yellow light. Upgraded to a 795 bulb @ 50w each. I had no heat problem, but I wanted to add a rear worklight. No way could I run the headlights, worklights, and flashers without putting a drain on the battery even with the rpm's up. Tried a couple of led bulbs - they sucked.

Solution - Sylvania Silverstar 1156 ST bulbs. They are 26.9w each and only 7.99 at Auto Zone - for 2! The glass on the bulb is pale blue. The light is very bright and crisp white. Very noticable difference. Comparable to the 50w 795's but a whiter white. I'm sold. Highly recommended to all those with headlight woes.

Thanks for posting. I'm gonna have to book mark this for when it's time to replace mine. They're ok for now, but when the time comes, brighter is always better.
