A couple of years ago I had to replace m/c headlights and I bought the high power ones. Then I looked at the expected life span and reconsidered. On a motorcycle they are always on and they are really a bite to replace on the Goldwing. You have to do it all by feel since you can't see what you are doing, your arm is filling the entire space. I wasn't in a rush to repeat the ordeal. I should have re-read the thread. |

Thanks for all the updates, watching with interest.... I drive with my lights on all the time so like the idea of brighter and cooler lamps and like to look of the LEDs. |

Drove last night , kinda more flood than a piecing beam ,needed hi beams still. I like the bright white but I suggest getting highest lumens you can afford and look for ones that have either an led on each side ( as opposed to just single on one side ) or one with a crystal tube that goes around the stem to make more of a bulb. |

I went out to eat and a long drive with my better half yesterday evening. Driving home in pitch black with no street lights in the middle of hicksville was very dark, could have used more light. I was afraid that a deer or moose was going to jump out in front and good by Kat. I have hit two deer in my life time and kept them both, they were very good lol. I would love to mount a set of fog lights somewhere but looking at the front of the Kat I am hard pressed to find a spot that looks good. Lighting has been a issue with me along with the speakers. I think I am selling, NOT. |

Low beams ok ,but hi beams take a long time to " warm up" . May put reg bulbs back in for highs. |

That would make sense, they do take a while to warm up. My RX8 with Xenons had them as dipped only and Halogen Hi beam. My Audi has the same light for Hi and dipped, there is a shutter that gets lifted on Hi allowing the beam to aim higher. Glad to hear the dipped are OK. |

I installed a set of Sylvania 9005 Silverstar Ultras and they have really made a big difference in night driving. They produce a bright white light and project farther down road and seem to have more side to side spread. They also come with a 1 year warranty. |

I was told by a guy I used to work with that the Silver Stars don't last long. I hope either he was wrong or they have improved them. |

There is some 12000 lumen on eBay . http://www.ebay.com/itm/301978297204 But I recently bought the sylvania silver stars and realigned my headlights . Big difference. I pulled up to garage door and then backed off 10-15 feet. Turned on lights and then stood at center of car and observed the center of beam / spot on the door . I adjusted horizontal to make the spots equidistant from the center . WOW! Big difference!! This message has been edited by mslc10 on 10-11-2016 at 09:58 AM |
