WHICH LED HEADLIGHT SHOULD I GET? THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME JUST PRICES ARE DIFFERENT. PLEASE COMMENT ON WHAT YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH I WANT TO STAY UNDER 200.00 AND I DONT LIKE THE REFLECTOR STYLE
Without knowing what you ride, from those choices there is only 1. Remeber the saying, you get what you pay for? All of those sub $200 options will be cheap POS Chinese knockoffs of who knows what whereas the EVO2 is top of the line and priced just barely over cost. If you've got a pre 14 model, the less expensive option without buying crap is an LED H4 style replacement bulb.
Just had JW Speaker 8700 Evo 2 installed on 14 SGS yesterday. Took a short ride last night and I am really impressed. Major difference over stock halogen. Stock halogen is a danger in my opinion. MoCo should ditch them from manufacturing. The extra $70 - $80 will be worth it in the long run IMHO
Personally I wouldn't have any of them. They are all the Projector type. I much prefer the Reflector type but if these were my only choices I'd go with the Evolution 2 which has the improved light pattern.
I did a review on this light for socalmotogear , and posted it on the forum also
Light has been on the bike for about a year and have no complaints.
Received the light for free in exchange for my photos and comments so I really could not complain even if I did not like it but it is a great light. I see the price has come down.
As you can see in the photos the beam is not flat so you don't loose visibility when cornering or turning.

Along with this is there an LED option for the spots? Do you have to find a similar full replacement or is there a bulb kit like you mention for the H4?
Mine is 08 if it matters.
And I agree that they are all Chinese now. Or Taiwan, or wherever the latest sweat shop is.
I recently installed a black EVO2 on my SGS. Riding in the night is awesome, however if I had a time machine I'd get a reflector type instead. For day driving the light awareness from a reflective LED seems much more apparent versus my EVO2. The reflector just seems to handle both day and night riding well.
Find me an LED headlight not made in China and you win a prize. Seriously, like TV's they are all made in China.
