Intalled DK Customs drop in LED bulb in my Slim
Just installed the bulb, eight minutes start to finish including taking pics lol. Would have been quicker but I had to remove the bulb retaining spring hinge, if using a stock bulb you simply rotate the retaining spring. Pretty sure Fuel Moto sells this same bulb, I order from DK because they are closer to home and shipping is quicker... Anyway, here are some pics.
Back of stock bulb is small
Back of led bulb is much larger which made retaining spring install just a tad more involved than a stock bulb.
Installed bulb and spring together. This pic is hinge side
Hold down side
Attached both screws loosely on spring, positioned and then tightened. Make sure you have spring seated in groove on hinge side
This pic is in straight up daylight in my shop. That bulb is so bright it makes my shop lighting look dark...and I have pretty good shop lighting. Might have to adjust headlight tonight, going for a ride now. Those cages should have no trouble seeing me now!

After some night riding I do agree it is different in partial lighting (city). Out on the back roads it is great, I can see much better. After the first ride I had to adjust my light down just a bit because the cages kept flashing brights at me. Adjusting the light down helped light up the road even more, the pattern was not diffused...it was simply to high in my opinion.

Really effective in daylight too. Rode over to see my brother, he said he could see me coming way down the road in broad daylight. He ordered two for his shark nose
