Light bulb

[Red89]

I am looking to buy a new light bulb for my factory 89 headlight. I have a stock stator, and I'm wanting a brighter light than factory and one with the slight blue tint to it. What do you guys recommend?

I'm no electrical guru (I hate electrical) but I'd say you are limited to the stock bulb due to the stator output.  then again maybe head down to your local auto parts store and see what they have to offer in a H4 bulb (newer bulbs??).  sorry I could not be of more help.

That is what I was thinking. Find the brightest H4 bulb that is 60/55 watt

Bulbs are generally sold by style/fit.  With the advances in technology, there are many manufacturers making older bulbs styles with new technology.

The stock 89 headlight bulb, as croat1 and Red89 have pointed out, is designated as an H4 Bulb.

Since technology has changed, so has terminology.  The old style bulbs at 55W probably put out about 1000 lumens, but today's LED bulbs are capable of twice the light output and only half the power.  (2000 lumens, 27 watts). With the difference in terminology, it can be difficult to compare.

But the thing that DOESN'T change is the H4 designation.  All H4 bulbs should fit the same, so just do a search for H4 bulbs and you should be able to figure out the rest.
