LED Headlight Upgrade

[MOTODEMIC_imp]

Posting here because we've had a couple of customers call/email about a couple of the posts in this thread. Figured it'd be worth giving everyone the opportunity to see the reply.

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread, but those bulbs are like $60 with free shipping from China. Is anyone is selling a CB kit for reasonable price yet? I really don't want to retrofit. And $600+ is bonkers

Nope, we aren't using the cheap Chinese lights you are referring to. We are using American made lighting units that are designed specifically for motorcycle use. The Chinese units are typically far from acceptible and in many cases dimmer than the stock headlight. They literally buy the ones we use and copy them as cheap as possible. You are also comparing a bare lighting unit to a complete kit with headlight housing and brackets.

Very nice upgrade for those with money to burn. I upgraded my H4 bulb with a brigther Sylvania Silverstar Ultra 9003. Big improvement for around ten bucks.

Its a great upgrade for those that want to be able to see and be seen. Apples to oranges and a night vs day difference over a reflective halogen (no matter what bulb you use).

What’s the difference between this and the 2017s LED ? Has anybody priced that option? I don’t usually ride in the dark and certainly never on a freeway. For my 8 mile commute in the AM during the time change in the spring I’m OK with the stock light.

The main difference is the type of lighting. The lighting systems we use are projector based with very high-quality optics to completely control the light and put it where it's needed most on a motorcycle, wide and far. The 2017's LED is a very cost-effective way of just getting LED's on the bike. They are projector based but are more of a scatter pattern, similar to a reflector style light.


If anyone has questions about going this route I'll gladly break it down. We live and breathe this, so we are a great resource for information (whether we sell you something or not).
