The stock bulbs on my CBR600 were dangerously dim even though they were standard H7 55w halogens.

I replaced them with cheap HIDs, which most would complain is illegal and inconsiderate, but I am happy with them. Best would be to get a proper projector HID or possibly an LED.

As Bikepilot pointed out, most bikes shunt excess power to ground.
