1BigDog Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 Tonight as I left work at 2 AM my HID went out. I didnt notice it right away until I hit a real dark stretch of road. It was then I realized that I was riding with only those dreaded LED driving lights. I cant believe how much illumination those LEDs put out. It was almost like riding with a stock headlight. I saw a nice clear band of light in front of me. Those LEDS really lit up the road. As far as the HID headlight goes, this has happened a few times before. I sent Canadian Cruiser Customizing an email and requested a replacement ballast since its still under warranty. Ill see what response I get. I cant have that light go out on me at night any more.
Squidley Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 I had the same thing happen on Gunboats 2 wheel '99 and was kinda surprised that I could see. Granted they are more a flood light, but I could see the road fair. I would still like more of a stretch spot type beam, but they works reasonably well.
a1bummer Posted March 5, 2011 Posted March 5, 2011 I also use LED driving lights. Not so much as to light my way but more to make myself more visible to oncoming traffic. They also do well to light up the roadsides for those critters that come across the road at the last second and roadside signs.
