It seems logical that if it emits more light, it will also generate more heat. In other words, will it melt the tail light lens? I believe someone also mentioned a tail light modulator... does this bulb work with it ok?
Thanks!
I also installed the 2397 brighter bulb for my tail/brake light when I put in the brighter headlight bulb. As the lights are on whenever the bike is running, there appears to be no heat problem with either bulb and heat is a problem here in Texas. I guess this could be considered a very strigent test for this problem and both bulbs passed brilliantly
