you actually need a light that gives you good contrast on black asphalt...yellow is best but not too bright and only goes short distance. white is bright but horrible contrast against asphalt...that's why HIDs gotsa be so bright mang!
go with one white bulb and one yellow.

This is why the old Gixxers came with yellow on one side. I recommend the HID, my buddy has them on his 1000RR and they are the brightest lights I have ever seen in my life. I looked at them a week ago and my eyesight is now finally returning. I can ride behind him with my lights off and I still see great.

QuinC - Hey if you're not digging the cost associated with the HID kit, I put some Brite Lites xenon bulbs in last year and they are 100% better than stock. I believe they cost like $26/pair...
Cheaper option than HID. Not sure how they compare to Silverstars... never seen those.

Edit: Nevermind. Just noticed this is an old thread.
+5 for Sylvania SilverStars (make sure to get the American version not the European Osram version that's not as white). I replaced all 3 (low and high) on mine and it makes a huge difference. Can't tell a big difference from HID's either and it's much less expensive (not to mention DOT approved and street legal unlike some HID kits).
You can get SilverStars at most any autoparts store like AutoZone or Advanced.
