DHL delivered the LED headlight today!
But it's raining here so I will install it tomorrow night to be able to compare light output from OEM and LED.
It seems to be well made and the design looks the same as JW Speaker Evo 2.

Looks good

This looks pretty nice, can you update once you've installed it? If it really is a direct replacement I'll probably order one.

I can't tell from the web site what the unit cost. How much was it? And looking forward to you report an how it performs.

It was $288 + $26 shipping. I was amazed that it was posted on Monday (Singapore) and delivered yesterday already.
I believe the higher price is because of the direct fitment design. Usually they sell for under $100. I bought one for my Harley and it was $89 (shipping cost included and arriving next week with DHL).

I got it installed and the light output is not as great as I expected when compared to the halogen.
I ended up parking a bit further from the original spot so not too bad.
And I was using the Philips X-treme Vision +130% Headlight Bulb (H4 60/55W) which doesn't last very long because it's way brighter than a standard bulb.

Installation was simple, the LED has same design as the OEM.
The only thing I had to change were the two screws that hold the alignment bracket. The OEM screw is ~3.9 mm in diameter and the LED is ~4.8 mm.
I removed the aluminum ring from the OEM and it fits perfect as well.



Top projector is low beam and bottom is high beam.
Only high beam projector stays on, switching off the low beam. The side ones are on all the time.

The sides get more light with the LED and since I was not as close as with the halogen installed, I believe it was a good purchase.

A couple of weeks ago I installed heated grips, Honda alarm (I will post about it this weekend) and replaced all bulbs with LED. Now with LED headlight, the bike will be fine when I add a GPS and phone charging connections.
