Is the verdict still out on using a 55W bulb?
Seems some are having sucess and others warn of melting the plastic lens.
I searched, and in all the older threads on the subject, the consensus is that damage will result.

BTW. Just joined the GG Club and am impressed with the wealth of knowledge here. Getting the new Spanish Girlfriend sorted out thanks to the info here.
I still have 2 KTM's and I'm quite active over at KTMTalk.

Thanks in Advance!

Default 2011 headlight bulb

I'm using a 55w in my bike for the last 2 months and have no problems with melting and wayyyy brighter than my stocker. It does get a little warmer(of course) but nothing to the point of even coming close to melting, it's nice to finally have some good light in front of me. I'm using a sylvania silver star

Thanks. I'll give it go. Still trying to figure out how exactly my bulb shattered. No crashes, no nothing. Just trail riding. All of a sudden the light quit working. Low and behold a perfectly good bulb is shattered inside the lens???????

I put a brighter bulb in and it melted and deformed the plastic around it.... Don't do it.

That's why I designed the led bulb. I searched and searched for a real high powered drop in led bulb with no results. So I spent countless hours and some serious cash coming up with mine.
