Thanks for the tip Glider, I just ordered one. Called first to make sure I was ordering the right one. The guy I talked to, I think his name was Mike, warned me it might cause an issue due to drawing more. I told him several here were using it without issue so I was going to give it a try.

After all if you say it works I have no reason to doubt you!

Give us a full report!

I ordered one too, I'll post again after I get it installed. The only thing that I didn't like was that the shipping charges are not disclosed at the time of ordering. I'm guessing that if they were gouging folks it would be well documented on the forum. I was running an HD Xenon bulb but the low beam went out in less than a year. Could have been a bad bulb, but I'll give this bulb a shot.

No need to worry about shipping charges, they only charged for what it cost, $4.79 for me.

Well Glider, spot on fantastic bulb! As reported by others, I can see better with the low beams than with the stock bright. Once again you are a genius!

Glad to hear you like it. As mentioned before, I only suggest things that I KNOW work.

Hey Monolith since you've had the 80/100 Osram in the bike for a while now, have you had any wiring overheating yet? And whats the deal on the reflector? Do I need to install a new one for some reason or is the stock one ok? I have and '09 Heritage Softail Classic.
Thanks for any info you can provide.

You should be good to go with the reflector in your bike when just adding the 80/100 bulb. It's usually the earlier year bikes that had the sealed beam where the reflector had to be replaced to use this bulb. I have been running them in many bikes without any problems.

Tried an after market 100/80 bulb in my 05FLTRI and blistered and cracked the lenses. Any one using the 80/100 Osram in a Road Glide?
