Upgrading lights
Can somone point me to bulbs on ebay that I could use to improve the light coverage on my Cat and a legal one , but not sure what bulbs I can use?
Re: Upgrading lights
Philips (link to ebay) and Halfords have higher light output bulbs, I have used one similar and it was better than standard.
The light spread will never be good due to the reflector design. Do you do a lot of night riding?
Some of us have fitted HID lights, if you do a search you'll see posts scattered about. I am planning on writing a review on my experiences, but need to try a few adjustments first

Well yes i do a lot of night driving as i work nights and take my lunch at 03:00 in the morning, but when off on a long run i tend to travel first thing and late at night to beat the traffic.

Re: Upgrading lights
I have one of the super-bright xenon type bulbs Steve mentions - it makes things better but still not great. The problem is fundamental reflector geometry, so a bulb change will only go so far. That said, I rarely ride at night so not a huge problem for me.
