Note: I did not opt for the same bulb as the video. I am sure it would have been very bright - however it's life was listed at only 60 hrs...

Remove that bulb you are going to melt the headlight housing. These type of headlights are not meant to use 60/55 w bulbs. They need to use 35/35 w bulbs.
Even when Honda, Yamaha, suzuki, Kawasaki use these this type of headlight assembly they use 35/35 w bulbs.

Thank you! Good to know! Good thing I kept the original bulb.

Get a good LED bulb. It will be brighter and put out way less heat than a standard bulb.

Indeed for these headlight housing is the ideal. Because 35/35 is just way too weak and using 50/65 either you melt the housing or the wiring will give up.

Thank you both for your help. An over heated / distorted headlight would not have been good at all.

Jerry - I like the fit of the led bulb type you recommended. It is more true to form with the conventional bulbs form and size and more likely to fit in the confined space.

It may not matter however but I opted for the 30 Watt version of the same make as yours to be on the safe side. I figure 30 watts from an LED Bulb will be roughly 8 times brighter than a comparable halogen bulb.

Again thanks to both of you.

I was quickly looking thru Amazon for 9003 LED bulb that was 35 watts or less. Most of the listed are 55 to 60 watts or wattage not listed.

I am also concerned about size of bulb. There is very little "behind the headlight" room.

Here is one that is listed as 35 Watts however size behind the bulb is a concern:
