LilBeaver Posted November 30, 2009 Share #26 Posted November 30, 2009 So when will they start making PAR36 size lamps? Preferably with a low and high beam feature....... There is some discussion of it here. None with the High/low beam feature. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?threadid=43156 Also, some of the sources are NOT very good about listing the beam pattern and whatnot; but at least they do make the LED setup in the PAR36 sized sealed beam configuration.

Guest tx2sturgis Posted March 2, 2013 Share #27 Posted March 2, 2013 Here is it, four and a half years after I posted that original article about LED headlamps. So the title is now, out of date...oh well. Well Trucklite has a new model, 27270C, that appears to be a drop-in replacement for any normal 7 inch round headlight, even the ones in the Venture. Has anyone tried one of these? They are about $200 on ebay. http://www.truck-lite.com/wcsstore/tl/resources/images/en_US/pdf/27270C_NP.pdf http://www.truck-lite.com/wcsstore/tl/catalog/images/grap/fws/new/27270C-lr.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slowrollwv Posted March 3, 2013 Share #28 Posted March 3, 2013 I installed a HID headlight 35W and 6000K and did the LED driving lights also ( truck lites ) from Kury. They are very bright and save a bunch on the charging system. BTW I only had a little over $220.00 for all three lights in this set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WESTDYKE Posted March 5, 2013 Share #30 Posted March 5, 2013 I just order the Truck Lite 80275 4 1/2" LED lights; After I get them I'll post how they worked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yamamike Posted March 5, 2013 Share #31 Posted March 5, 2013 Not being much of a techie, how would they handle a transition to high beam? Incandecent bulbs use a second fillament. How would that work? Just like brake lights...you have say 75% of LED on for "dim" and 100% for high. IMHO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tx2sturgis Posted March 5, 2013 Share #32 Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) Just like brake lights...you have say 75% of LED on for "dim" and 100% for high. IMHO Good guess but thats not the way they work. There are separate elements for high and low beam, and corresponding optics to focus the high and low beams in different patterns.

k9cottage Posted March 5, 2013 Share #33 Posted March 5, 2013 a bit of fiddling but it works http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Universal-Motorbike-7-Matt-Black-LED-Headlight-Fits-Yamaha-VMX-XJR-1200-1300-/150979216117?pt=AU_Motorcycle_Parts_Accessories&hash=item23271002f5&_uhb=1#ht_5431wt_1397 and now i see they have a 4 light version http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Universal-Motorcycle-7-Chrome-LED-Headlight-Suitable-For-AJS-Cafe-Racer-/150979229992?pt=AU_Motorcycle_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2327103928&_uhb=1#ht_5131wt_1397 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKid Posted March 5, 2013 Share #34 Posted March 5, 2013 I just checked their website and they have the 7" now. I searched the web for them for price and they are running in the $200+. I think i will stick with my lifetime warranty HID headlamp with LED running lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condor Posted March 5, 2013 Share #35 Posted March 5, 2013 I would like to see 6k on the temp though. I hate headlights that are burning those blue 6000K lamps. They flat hurt my eyes. MOF I think California has made them illegal unless they were OEM. The driver may think he's cool, but the oncoming traffic get's blinded. I'd rather see them develop an LED that has something around tunston 3400K. I'm all for the idea of LED headlights for our bikes. I just picked up 2 Sears LED 1000lum flashlights in an auction, and when I fired them up they made my 160lum tacticals looks like a match. I'm affaid to stand in front of one....
