[QUOTE="puppychow, post: 1365372, member: 19520"] Some feedback on the Philips LED headlights as compared to my previous HID headlights. Sorry, no pictures, just my words. FWIW. 1. Nowhere as bright as the HIDs I was running before. The HID headlights in my eyes were the ultimate nemesis of darkness. I hardly ever wanted to or had to use my Aux LEDs in the dark. With the Philips LED headlight, I "feel" the need to switch on the Aux LEDs. I suppose this is expected. 2. Significantly less to no glare from these lights as compared to the HIDs. Again this is expected, as the low beam cutoff is razor sharp, AND the lights are nowhere as retina burning bright as my previous HIDs. 3. I like the extremely lightweight heat sinks, and no moving parts. The heat sinks get warm to the touch after the lights have been running for hours (and the bike has been moving also) , but the no fan cooling seems very efficient - at least for the V-strom it seems there is very good airflow. The V-strom headlight bulb spring is quite weak, another reason to appreciate the lightweight heat sinks. [/QUOTE]
