There are no signs of excessive heat. I don't know if the 55 watt bulb is borderline on the heat output.

I would stay with the 35W oem bulb.

How many rides before it started turning it black, and was that riding in the hot Texas daylight hours?

Reason I'm asking is I'm thinking of adding a 55WT bulb to my 11's headlight shell for the night portion of this weekends 24 hour. I run my stock headlight shell and 2 trail tech mr 16 HIDs off the handle bars. along with 2 more HIDs of my helmets chin guard. So its not crutial I do this.

Really the bike light is just fill in light as this is mostly open prairie. But if I could get a bit more out of it that would help as you can outrun your lighting in this environment on super dark years as is this years prediction. Little or no moon light.

Thanks for your experience and advice with this in advance.
