I've been looking for a brighter headlight without changing the looks. Anyone tried the hella sealed beam replacements or the LED headlights from ebay or Amazon? I mainly don't want to change the mounting ears.
Thanks
Links to what ya bought would be great!

Re: T500 headlight replacement?
I put this one on my bike. Close enough to keep the look of the original, only people who know vintage Suzuki will know it isn't OEM.
Replaced the 55/60W Halogen with a 45/45W (have also upgraded my electrical system with a Tympanium rectifier/regulator and AGM battery). Has a standard H4 bulb socket. Plenty of room for all of the wiring that goes in the headlamp bucket, fits nicely between the fork ears, under the gauges, and room to run cables.
With the upgrade, I might even be able to run the 55/60 bulb, but the 45 has been good for me. But then, I try to get home before the street lights come on.
$68 and change, after shipping. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Chrome-Motorcyc ... 1128189436
