Yes,No options for a 35W bulb.

I Ride a Yamaha R15. Since there are 2 H4 35W bulbs and the light Output is not great for Night Riding or in Rains, I wanted something better with the same wattage rating as I don't want to strain my Battery. Last few pages were a discussion of Philips Xtreme, Night Vision bulbs, etc., I thought something will be available for 35W.
I guess I can go for 35W HIDs(H4-2 or H4-3)
Please suggest

HID's are better option. Go in for 4300K color temp H4 HID.

For quick fix, I have done following -->

On highBeam, I have replaced 35 W bulb with 55 W Philips Premium, H4 type. 80 Rs.
For precautions:
1. I disconnected pilot bulbs to save 10 W.
2. Uses it only when I am riding above 4K RPM, otherwise use low beam only.

am pretty happy with it.

I hope you already know, how easy is it to adjust Headlight beam by screws given near handleBar.

try it.. cost effective good sollution..

Thank You for the suggestion
for pilot lamps I use 2W SMD LEDs
Thinking of changing the Tail lamp to LED too
After that I maybe able to use the Philips Premium bulb you mentioned at lower RPMs too

wow.. some more info on LEDs please.. I am also looking for that.. what kind of shop you find them and for what price.. any pic would also help

well.. you can very well use 55W at any RPM or even stand still as well.. only a thought in back of your mind, that its drawing battery 20W(after removing pilot lamp) more than what yamaha thought.. so just being a bit cautious, thats it.. no hard calculations..
and I never ride R15 at below 4K RPM.. and in city traffic JAM you won't require high beam, now would you

ok.. thanks..
Are they straight fit in existing holder ? or need minor tweaking?

Just Plug and Play
Remove the existing ones and fit the new ones and you are Good to go
If they don't come on just reverse the polarity by turning the Bulbs and fit them
