GeorgiaYankee Posted December 22, 2012 #26 Posted December 22, 2012 I just installed two of the Tractor supply LED's mentioned above, and man they are bright. VERY visible from all angles, but not as blinding as high beam on my halogen in the middle. I don't think I'll have people flashing me, they're just bright enough, but not obnoxious. I also like that they won't put as much drain on my battery. Very white light, not my headlight looks yellow.
XV1100SE Posted December 22, 2012 #27 Posted December 22, 2012 GE H7616. Far brighter replacement bulbs for the stock ones with simple change. Far brighter than the Silver Star Ultra headlight I have.
djh3 Posted December 23, 2012 #28 Posted December 23, 2012 Hmm @ 38w might be a bit taxing on the wiring to run al the time like I do. But thanks for the info. I am running off a relay though. hmmmmmmmm
djh3 Posted December 23, 2012 #29 Posted December 23, 2012 Boy I can tell you from the searches I have ran at stores I have locally, these buggers aint easy to find. No listing at tractor supply or carquest, autozone, advance auto parts. Only place I could even find them was NAPA online. I think in the $20-22 range if I remember rite. Did I read right a flood beam? So short and fat? The beam I'm talking about.
djh3 Posted November 28, 2013 #30 Posted November 28, 2013 Was on another site today and a fellow found an LED headlight for H4 use. He also mentioned they had bulbs for the passing lights (H3) here is a link. Under $50 shipped to me.

Just from my experience with these folks (canadian cruiser customizing) I would never buy anything from them, but that is just me!
Bert2006 Posted November 28, 2013 #32 Posted November 28, 2013 Just from my experience with these folks (canadian cruiser customizing) I would never buy anything from them, but that is just me! Was actually looking at ordering from them.. Would you mind sharing what problem you encountered as I am trying to decide to proceed or not. Thanks
Seaking Posted November 28, 2013 #33 Posted November 28, 2013 Was actually looking at ordering from them.. Would you mind sharing what problem you encountered as I am trying to decide to proceed or not. Thanks Had purchased from them before, not bad, but when items start failing prematurely, and the customer service disapears, it's time to move onto another company. Nice concept products, but cheaply manufactured... not all of them.. to be fair and honest, I would say its a hit and miss with the products. Just ONE consumer's opinion, others may vary who had better luck. Their LED headlight looks interesting at that price but the fan is something that might be of an issue with heat and rain.. ?

Don't forget the amber LED strips from Autozone...
Barrycuda Posted November 29, 2013 #37 Posted November 29, 2013 Don't forget the amber LED strips from Autozone... Yeh, forgot to add that in post. Mine is same brightness and not an accent. It was an oopsy, but still works out well
djh3 Posted November 30, 2013 #38 Posted November 30, 2013 Well guess I'll hold dropping the $$ until I see yours and ask some questions.
