I like having good lights (within reason) because sometimes I find myself out after dark. I've been running Piaa high output halogens in E-code buckets for years. They are $90 for two bulbs. I get 3 or 4 seasons out of a set. We got home at dusk last night and I discovered both my low beams were out. I threw in a set of Sylvania's I had for now. I thought I'd look into LEDS. JD Speaker seems to be kind, but at $500 a bulb they better be able to give me a reach around while I'm riding. A couple people suggested Eagle lights. They are high output LEDS but not adaptives. What I like is they have a lifetime warranty. That may be the way I go.
Hey Rocket Scientist, I have a set of JW Speaker Adaptive 1. Used 3 seasons. If you want to try led's I'll sell them to you for $200 Shipped. Even if you don't ride at night others can see you better during the day. I love them. They are the best headlights I've ever had and they are made in the USA, not China. Anyway think about it.
For what it's worth I just replaced the stock bulb in 2017 with an H4 COB LED Bulb.
It's plenty bright for daytime riding. That being said, I only ride about 1-2 thousand miles a year. Never get enough miles to change the oil based on milage.

You would lose that bet, I'm an atgatt guy. I don't ride at night. If I do have to I sure as hell don't play boy racer. I've been running Piaa super high output halogens. I've ridden with people with LEDS and didn't see a huge improvement. They are about $90 a pair, and I get about four seasons out of a set. I just wanted some feedback on what people thought of "not the best money can buy LED lights".
The low beams burned out on both of them. That's what started this thread. Do I pay $90 for two Piaa's (which work very well) or go with LED. Speakers are out, too rich for this Scotsman. I kinda like the Eagle lights due to the lifetime warranty. I had high power LEDS in my Challenger that were lifetime warranty. Good thing as I went through 7 sets of them until they said "well we don't make that model anymore". That fellow that offered the JW gen 1's for $200 is a great deal until one of them burns out and it's $500 to replace it. I may buy another set Piaa's.
