awsmsrv Posted June 7, 2009 Share #1 Posted June 7, 2009 (edited) Has anyone here tried this yet? Sounds pretty neat. I wonder how much it costs. . . . Found it for $456 for a pair, maybe? Find a buddy to go in half? Wow! Edited June 7, 2009 by awsmsrv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylvester Posted June 7, 2009 Share #2 Posted June 7, 2009 If you find the buddy to go in halfs with, how are you going to mount it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandyR Posted June 9, 2009 Share #3 Posted June 9, 2009 I wonder about this claim: Offers as much as 50x longer life (10,000 hrs vs 400 hrs) 400hrs seems like too short a lifetime for an incandescent headlight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarQ Posted June 9, 2009 Share #4 Posted June 9, 2009 Are you replacing your headling often enough to justify $228 per person? Someone posted elsewhere that they found a 9003 Super White 50/60 watt lamp for $5. That's about 46 replacements. I think in 10 years I've replaced a headlight twice on my bike, once was to go to a higher wattage highbeam 50/100 (The socket didn't like the extra heat by the way). Has anyone here tried this yet? Sounds pretty neat. I wonder how much it costs. . . . Found it for $456 for a pair, maybe? Find a buddy to go in half? Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tx2sturgis Posted June 9, 2009 Share #5 Posted June 9, 2009 (edited) Dont drop coin on these yet. In October of last year, I started a thread announcing these new LED headlamps: http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=28922 After that, I sent an email to the manufacturer, Phillips, asking for any details on the possiblity of an E-CODE lamp for motorcycles. I never got a reply. I would not spend a penny on these truck style lamps, because the pattern is not correct for a single track vehicle. If your putting them on your bus or truck, then OK. But leaning vehicles, and vehicles with one headlight, need a different lighting pattern. One of the problems with the stock RoyalStar forward lighting, is that the bikes do not come with E-CODE headlamps. Most touring Harleys do (or DID), and my 2000 model ElectraGlide came stock with the E-CODE headlamp. E-CODE headlamps provide a better pattern, and if i was going to spend hundreds of dollars on a new headlamp, I'd want it to work better than the one I took off the bike. I think its better to pop in a few heavy duty MC H4 replacement bulbs (preferably in a new E-CODE housing), or upgrade to HID lighting, or add auxiliary lights at this time...but maybe the future will be....'Brighter'...
