[QUOTE="Fred W, post: 1218571, member: 3828"] The video shows three configurations. First is the stock halogen, He shows low beam, high beam, and then mixed where both the lows and highs (or maybe one of each) is on. Second is a retrofit of the HIDs in the stock reflector. He makes a point of showing how non-uniform the beam intensity is, and also the irregular and incomplete cutoff of the low beam. Lots of light above the cutoff. I wish that he showed what type of HIDs these were, because the units that I have experience with on my FJR was a whole lot better than those. The third set of lights are HID [I]projector[/I] beams, and the pattern of those is very, very good. Pretty much what you are shooting for. The projected beam uniformity and precise beam cutoff in low beam is outstanding. I'd guess that putting an LED emitter into the stock Yamaha reflector is going to give you a similar pattern as the HID in the reflector. If so, I'd just stick with the halogens and wait for something better. Taking apart the headlight bucket to install the projectors looks like a serious PITA. [/QUOTE]
