[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1436493, member: 19880"] The only thing I ask anyone who is installing LED headlights in a bucket designed for halogens is to TEST them. Go out at night with a cooperating driver (car is easier) and have them meet you on a dark highway. Also follow them on the bike. Low beam and high beam. Make sure your lights aren't too dazzling. Also make sure you don't have any "dead" regions where there is no lighting. Nothing is more annoying (and potentially dangerous) as LEDs that are too bright, badly focused or too high a color temperature (white-white tending toward blue). More lumens are not necessarily better and keep the color temperature lower if you can. Most higher power LEDs have fans and a "ballast". You may have to modify the headlight boots to accommodate.
