[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1345325, member: 19880"] You have to be careful about the lumen ratings. Even if the seller is not an outright liar (and some are), they may provide the rating as total lumens for the two bulb set with both low and high beams. 12,000 lumens could mean 3000 lumens for the low beam on one bulb (which still isn't bad if decent focus is accomplished). Some say how they rate them and others don't. There are so many choices out there right now and I would like to think that eventually somebody will get it right. (maybe not yet...?) Stay tuned! Edit: Not sure about waterproof issues. I wouldn't think that the cowl of the FJR is necessarily worse than inside the engine compartment of a car. I suspect that the ones with fan-cooled heatsinks would tolerate moderate "clean" road spray but might not like salt spray in places where NaCl is used to de-ice roadways. [/QUOTE]
