    Phillips Motovision headlights

    $19.99 each at pepboys and as stated cycle gear, not sure about the piaa bulbs but they are about half the price of the piaa, and I wouldn't think you get twice the performance.

    Phillips Motovision headlights

    You can see the orange tint on the glass, middle light is stock light. Motovision's are a lot bright than stock as you can see in the night pics, so if you are thinking of trying these lights they aren't bad, big improvement over stock.

    12v outlet fuse question

    Thanks to you all, I did the install yesterday and used a 10a, so if it blows I will change to a 5a, my GPS and iphone chargers have fuses in them already I found out so they will be fine and I will make the change if I have to replace the fuse.
