Just my 5 cents on the 2017 LED type headlight.
Last night was the first time I rode my 2017 in the dark, I was disappointed with the "brightness" and "pattern" performance.
I understand that HONDA has to meet DOT specification in regards to luminescence, although the colour of the light is white, it is not bright enough on the black asphalt.
May be I am used to my CBX upgraded H4 LED headlight brightness, this CB1100 LED headlight is just light not bright enough - it is similar to a car day-time running light i.e running e headlight in series therefore 6 volts.
I have 2 questions.
Q1, Can any one confirm whether a 2016 headlight uses an H4 bulb?
Q2 If yes, I want to convert to previous model headlight unit - only keeping my chrome headlight bucket and using the lens and ring.
Thanks
