    Delkevic Headlight.

    I was browsing ebay for any sort of headlight I could find for the GS, and stumbled across this...



    Delkevic has a pretty good reputation, and I've never heard anything bad about their products. Looks like I may have found my new headlight.

    Looks good, but check to see if you can get one with a clear bulb, so you can SEE good, too.

        Oh, well. I just hope your younger eyes can handle seeing in the dark.

        Although they might look "cool" and are advertised as "closer to daylight", they reduce the effectiveness of the light to the point where they can actually become dangerous.

        One point to ponder: if "daylight" is so perfect, why do "Blue-Blocker" sunglasses help you see so much better?
        You put those bulbs in, you are filtering out everything but the blue, which is what causes problems in the eye. OK, it's actually the ultra-violet that scatters in the fluid inside the eyeball, but BLUE does its share of scattering, too. All that light scattering inside the eyeball just overloads the retina, reducing your ability to see.

            You have to be careful with the Silverstars, too. The American ones have a slight blue tint. Look on eBay for European Osram Silverstars. They are clear, as any tint is illegal in Europe.
