I've got Philips Vision Plus on my FJR, and they are noticeably brighter. one of the bulbs went 'pop', my lbs didn't have a Vision-plus in stock, so I stuck a Vision-plus-alike in. The FJR has a twin headlight, so I could see them side by side and it was obviously less bright than the proper Philips one.

H4 fitment on the stock 'storm headlight.

I had HIDs on a previous car which really are night abd day (excuse the pun) over ordinary bulbs.

I second the proper vision + bulbs, they are definatly much better than than standard.

Be aware that some of the bulbs out there have coating on them to alter the colour of the light. This has the obvious effect of reducing the amont of light emitted from the bulb.

The Storm has an H4 main bulb.

I bought my last couple of sets of bulbs from here - http://www.powerbulbs.co.uk/

A nice 90/100w H4 version if you fancy melting your wiring.

Always been tempted by the high wattage but never had the bottle.

I dont rde much at night so never really been an issue.

The new ZZR1400 fitted with bi xenon would be something else.
