Xenon Headlights

I have found the new LEDs that are on the market are by far brighter and produce a excellent pattern. If you check eBay, stay to the bulbs with a minimum of 32 watt, 3000 lumens. Knock your socks off for $20 a bulb.

I purchased them (the blue tint ones) and wish I had something brighter. There is quite a few comments on other choices within the threads here so I would suggest some homework before you purchase. I'm not convienced I made the best choice, although "price" is something I based this decision on. Cheap is not going ot get you what you expect.

I'm really puzzled as to the difference in the beam focus (trajectory) between low & high beam. If you set the angle to put the "high" beams where you need them for night driving on the highway, that puts the low beam about 20 to 30 feet in front of the bike. Not enough viewing distance if you ask me. If you adjust for low beam comfort (50 to 75 feet out), high beams have you looking for coons in the tree tops.

Not sure if this is the nature of the new bulbs or not. Don't recall how the stock bulbs were but thinking about the same as far as trijectory matters.

What's to loose is: going through the motions of changing out the bulbs & not being happy with the subtle change of brilliancy. My input (and experience) only.

Good luck.
