Headlight bulb replacements? (not HID)

Those are probably the best for overall visibility. 8k will be a bit bluer but still very bright. It comes down to preference.
I would also stick to the 35w. I have 55w in my car and had to get a wiring harness because the factory wiring wouldn't cut it so I can't imagine your bike could supply the power required.
Here are mine, 35w 8k for the fogs, 55w 8k for the low beams. Droid pics so they're are real crisp.

I replaced the factory bulb w/ H4 from www.candlepowerinc.com .
I've been very pleased w/ the increased visibility from a brighter bulb (white light) that is basically a direct replacement for the old stock yellowish bulb. My Honda shop actually stocks these for about $8.

The 4300K globe is supposed to be similar in colour temp to the "standard" halogen globe, but as these HID's are literally about 3 times brighter, the resulting colour is more white than warm (I prefer warmer, but it's a compromise). See attached before and after pics too (BTW my high beam runs at 20% constantly, which explains the slight light beam illuminated on the garage door above the low beam).
Hope this helps.
