    It's aimed at automobiles, but the vast majority applies to motorcycles
    as well.

    The 360T charging system wont handle those kind of lights... Its barely
    able to handle the stock ones.

    In all seriousness, limit the amount of riding you do at night. It's good
    advice no matter how much light you have.

    If you insist on having a bike with brighter than stock lights, you're
    either going to have to do some very, very expensive work on your CB360
    or get a bike with a heftier charging system.

  7. Mr.,

    With no disrespect to the previous responders, go find out how many
    watts your OEM headlights draw. Now go find any Halogen bulbs which
    are direct replacements and draw no more wattage. There are Halogen
    replacements for most bulbs, which provide enhanced brightness with no
    increase in wattage. Generally, if your bulb is a 'xyzw', the
    replacement is an 'Hxyzw'. Buy the brightest of them. It's really
    that simple unless you are prepared to go the $250 to $500 to convert
    to High Intensity Discharge. If the latter, go to www.xenonking.com
    and see if they have something which will work for you without drawing
    too much wattage.

    With respect to the turn signals, be very careful. There are many LED
    units which promise wonderful things but turn out not to be brighter
    than stock.. I bought a unit on eBay with wonderful testimonials etc.
    that turned out to be LESS bright than stock. I scrapped it for an
    extra-legal Halogen tailight that's as bright as a headlamp on the
    brake filament. Nobody complains about not being able to see it!!

    I, too, believe in the maximum brightness that doesn't get you
    arrested, so...

    Good luck
