Default Headlamp option

Anyone have any experience with these?
Looks like a good deal without spending $300 plus.

No experience but looks good. Only question/concern would be moisture. If it gets in, leds do not generate heat to burn it off. That was problem with early version led headlamps.

I have one very similar, if not the same on order from Chrome Glow. It is $20 more. Damn. When it gets here I'll report.

That looks like a great option. I'm interested to hear some reviews.

Those look really neat. I tried a pair of car LED H4 replacements in my FXDF a month or so ago, but with the fans on the back of the LEDs and the separate ballast units there wasn't quite enough space in the headlight bucket to get everything in.

These ones look as if they have the ballast built into the fan unit already. I wonder if they work with CANBUS bikes. Better send Jamie an email....

I would imagine they would be about the same as halogen bulbs, probably whiter, maybe a bit brighter. Fine for city riding but lacking good distance for dark back roads. I wouldn't drop $70 on them, or even $50.
