Mate has fitted LED to two of his bikes. No probs. Have just ordered one. See how it goes, if ok will print link.

I got an LED globe in mine (via @gsxbarmy ) and it's heaps better than standard while also not blinding / dazzling any oncoming traffic. I'm happy with it.

LED in mine too, same opinion as Vlad. Mine was also recommended by Barmy.

New globe fitted, much brighter than Halogen. Night road test not done yet. Less drain on generator i like, charge rate up by .2 volt. Not much but it all helps. Auxito is brand, $30.

Best allrounder I've ever owned 👍

I'd very much doubt a pic at night is going to give an accurate riders perspective of the available illumination.

Road tested tonight. No pics but its really bright. Last globe was Halogen+150, much whiter light new one. Low beam is superb, full light on ground just in front then a slightly darker bit then another full width splash. High beam adds a fair bit, an improvement for sure. Worth it just for the low beam. Very happy.

Thanks, good to know, as I put some cheap Chinese HID globes in one of my cars and although brighter they had no penetration. Was it a simple plug and play?

grog

Yeah Steve. Just same as H4.

2nd run tonight. Low beam is just A1. High could be better. Only thing i dont like, when looking at headlight, looks like only top half is lit. Minor prob.Very happy with it.

That's how dipped beam works, it only reflects off the top of the reflector to aim the light down. The whole thing will light on main beam. Halogens are the same, but the greater light diffusion means it's not as noticeable.

Does it look any brighter in daylight? I only ask as I run my K2 with the low beam on at all times whilst riding in daylight. I wondered if it was noticeably brighter so idiot drivers who pay little or no attention might see me a little easier. I seldom if ever ride after dark.

My LED is a lot brighter in daylight, it's been commented on that it's much easier to pick out at a distance.
