So are LEDs viable as a Halogen replacement.

Well - imo - not quite but we're definitely close.

The headlights are Halogens - Though not necessary on a 2009 they do run off a relay type system like the Eastern Beaver. They're Philips Blue bulbs - about 30-40% brighter than OEM.

The lower pair of auxiliary lamps are Triumph OEM Fog's with original halogens.

The upper pair of auxiliaries are identical to the triumph ones - but modifed with CREE leds.

They plug in to the H3 socket? I'd like some. After the EB fit my martin fabrication H3's look yellow by comparison.

No. They're torch units fitted into inside modified lamps.

You have to remove the "fog" cut off shields and do a fair amount of jiggery-pokery to get things to stay put and not short out. My conversion is still reversible so it's a wee bit Heath Robinson inside (I'm using used shock absorber rubbers off a Land-Rover). Best would be using thermally conductive adhesives and a good soldering iron. I'd also use a less experimental LED next time.

I did this btw to have bright "get out of the bloody way -flashers" - something Moma Triumph forgot. Not done a range test yet. But as torches the units are not bad.

I have a Cree torch and its pretty **** impressive for $23.00..
Hope to see this stuff make it into the auto industry as well as domestic lighting
