Headlight bulb question...

[Joe B]

My low beam burned out (1997 SS). Does anyone know if I have to buy the bulb from Ducati, or can I get a replacement at NAPA or somewhere like that?
TIA! Joe

most auto parts stores should be able supply that.

I put a Slyvania Silverstar bulb is my 95 900SS and works great!!! Got it at Auto Zone..

+1 auto zone. New bulb and H4 plug- $10

Ducati will stick it to you for electrical parts. H4 plug- $350

Phenominal difference.

any H4 bulb should do. Silverstars, Xtreme White, and similar are a bit better than OEM because they put out a "whiter" light but not more light.

The quality and contrast are remarkably better with the Silverstar. There is no comparison to a standard h4.

I know this sounds unbelievable, but I recently had to switch back to a standard h4 (due to availability) and I won't wait for a burnout to switch back.

Wow, thanks all for the quick replies ! I'll head out for an H4 right away (I'll look for Silverstar).
