I did this to my S3, draws 22 watts, brightest headlight I've got. Here, about $17.
Easy to do.
Did you ride it at night though? Honest question... I put in one of those and if you look at the bulb when it's lit, it will sear your retinas - however, out on a country road at night...it was hopeless, I couldn't see 20 feet!
The depth of the bulb placement is critical. the bulb needs to be as far into the sealed beam housing as possible. The first time I did it I did not put the bulb far enough in and had just what you described, I trimmed the back of the sealed beam, and modded the bulb to go in farther, 'viola! works great, I can see down the road just fine, just a little difference between low beam and high beam. that is the only downside. They are both bright. I will do this to the H1 and H2.
