frankd Posted August 28, 2013 Share #1 Posted August 28, 2013 At Vogel (or was it the International?), I was talking to another member about the LED driving lights he had on his bike. They were very bright and he told me what brand they were, but I neglected to write it down and of course now I have no idea about what he said. All I remember they were about $300/set. If you are the one I talked to, please let me know the brand again. Does anybody know about good LED driving lights? I've already got Halogen driving lights on my 1st Gen, but they really aren't worth having. I'd like a set that would mount like the Halogen ones do (1 bolt), and my bike already has a relay and switch installed, so I don't need a wiring kit. Do I need a spot set or a flood set (narrow or wide beam)? Frank Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flyinfool Posted August 28, 2013 Share #3 Posted August 28, 2013 Do I need a spot set or a flood set (narrow or wide beam)? Frank It all depends on what you want to light up, if you need more light straight down the road, then get the narrow beam. If you are trying to light up the side of the road to see critters coming, or see the road around the turn you are making, then get the wide beam. OR Since LED draws so much less power than halogen, get a set of both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterGuns Posted August 28, 2013 Share #7 Posted August 28, 2013 http://stores.advmonster.com/-strse-LED-Lights/Categories.bok has a variety of led driving lights. I have a set of the Model 60s on my FJR and they are bright. I think they are 3300 lumen and draw only 3.4 amps each. I am waiting on a second pair to mount on a 92 VR.

Ben Rollins Posted August 28, 2013 Share #9 Posted August 28, 2013 The video attached to the m60 lights is great, It shows just how bright they are and some really nice riding on a Yamaha wr-250 or 450 I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frankd Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share #11 Posted August 29, 2013 they are manufactured by Rigid Industries. That's it!!!

IronMike Posted August 29, 2013 Share #12 Posted August 29, 2013 I saw some at wally world for like 29 bucks, had two distances in each light, I was looking hard. I just want critter lights. Have no driving lights and don't want them, have on my Roadstar and never use them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XV1100SE Posted August 29, 2013 Share #14 Posted August 29, 2013 I don't have LED's but since the narrow/wide applies to both... I have GE H7616 bulbs in my passing lights... haven't seen anything brighter. They are narrow beam. I aim them at the same height as my low beam with the left one aimed slightly in (but still left of the headlight beam) and the right one slightly out (towards the shoulder of the road). Very rarely does someone flash their lights at me (and I have them on day and night). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayceesfolly Posted August 29, 2013 Share #15 Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) Frank: You spoke to me about the LED lights on my bike. They are Rigid Industries lights. Model Number 20221. They have a 10 degree spot beam. Here is the web page: http://www.rigidindustries.com/Dually-LED-Light-Spot-p/dually-sp.htm Shop around for the best price. They have gone up in price since I bought them. I paid $165/ pair but are in the range of $189+ now. I am very happy with the way they light up the road. The 10 degree pattern works well on the dark country roads that I run on. They can be adjusted to light up the sides of the road and still get a lot of light down the middle of the road. During the day I run with them on so I can be seen. I get comments all the time about how bright they are, even in the daylight.

Do I need a spot set or a flood set (narrow or wide beam)? FrankI do not know if it was me or not, but I was at the international and I have a set of PIAA led fog lights. They are very bright and light up the road and sides very well. However being fog lights despite being very bright 6000 kelvin, they do not blind oncoming traffic or flare back at you in fog or rain. I find they allow me to even see the road surface when an oncoming vehicle fails to dim their high beams and they only draw only 1.5 amps. They cost me $300 but when you consider they only require a 2 amp fuse (yes two amp) it sure keeps the load off of your stator. these lights also come in spot and flood light models. Here are some links. http://www.piaa.com/store/p/146-LP-530-Fog-LED-Light-Kit.aspx Fog light http://www.piaa.com/store/p/147-LP-530-Driving-LED-Light-Kit.aspx Driving light http://www.piaa.com/store/pg/19-L-E-D.aspx Info sheet http://www.piaa.com/store/p/187-LP-530-High-Intensity-LED-Driving-Light-Kit.aspx Video PS they draw so little currant I did not even bother with a relay or switch. I just ran them directly to the accessory terminal with a 2 amp fuse. Edited August 29, 2013 by saddlebum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnT Posted August 29, 2013 Share #18 Posted August 29, 2013 I run a spot/narrow beam on left side of bike and a flood/wide on the right. Actually, so do I. Mine are HID but that is the pattern I use and it seems to work well. I could not :mo money:a pair of each of these lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
