I wanted to improve the poor sidelight bulb and replaced with some LEDs as mentioned in previous post. Then i upgraded today the main dipped beam to give the bike that cosmetic modern white LED look. The results are great but i must make people aware the replacement bulb is a Phillips halogen diamond vision and gives over 5000k light vs std 3500 k . The light although much whiter has actually 10% less lux than the standard bulb. I dont ride at night but for those that do your lights will not be as good .
Pics 1 and 4 are new bulb 2 and 3 are standard bulb.
I cannot comments on how long they will last but they are not cheap but do get a good rating.

Nice upgrade Cre, I think for most riders being more visible to other road users is the main reason to do this.

I have Hid's in both my bikes for this reason, with additional JCB digger LEDs fitted to my Adventure for night time off roading, turns night into day, lol.

Be seen be safe.
