Default Any feedback on LED Headlight Kit?

$500+ is a bit steep for me at the moment, but i know im not thrilled with the visibility of the stock lamps on my heritage.

Just wondering if anyone has switched to the LED system, and was it a noticeable improvement?

Thanks all

I know three different guys who have upgraded, including one who is running the Hoka Hey with it. THey all say the same thing, best money spent and well worth the investment. I am gonna do it over the winter.

I have it. Better than stock, not as good as HID. But there's no need for a ballast, so it's more convenient.

I upgraded as well, and it's a lot better than the stock halogen. Very nice unit but $$$$$.

I also have the LED. Not only is it better at night, but you'll be seen better by other drivers in the daytime, which is what I was actually looking for.

I have had mine on for several weeks now. I got 20% off at the dealers. They are trying to get riders to accept the new light and are discounting it for that purpose. No contest at night how much brighter and wider the beam of light is. I do wonder if in the daytime I am being seen better now than with the old light. Would I buy it again, heck yea don't regret it at all.
