Have you tried it yet? Just finishing up mine today. Cant beat the price as it was a gift along with the 881 passing lights. Had to fab a mounting ring as the other one stayed with the bike for his new LED. Did you change bulbs or just plug and play? I wired mine direct and cut the plug out and shortened wires. Hope they worked good for you. I also put extra ground on the passing lights so there not grounded to buckets.

Been using mine for six months now and loving it. I simply plugged mine in...no wire cutting.

You guys are going to be lighting up the roads Big time! You're sure to love all that lighting, it's outstanding.

Enjoy!

ok, not the greatest pictures (only had the cell phone with me)....also not a whole lot of roads around here that dont have at least some streetlights

low beam only



low beam + fogs (i really need to re-aim the left passing lamp, its a bit high)



high beam





for reference, the van is ~ 30yds ahead of me from there, end of the street (@ the telephone pole) is ~ 80 yards. the highbeam throws a beam +/- 200yds if it's DARK (IE no streetlights)

overall, i love em...plus they draw like 1/10th of what the halogen stuff did, and anything that eases the strain on the charging system is a plus in my book.

I got my TruckLite LED spots/passing lamps the other day and popped them in last night. I ordered them a week or two back after reading this thread. Haven't had them on the road yet (too much sand and salt still out there) but they looked good in the dark garage! I upgraded my stock spots a few years back with the HD halogens, but I think these are going to be even better. No heat and almost no current draw. Plus they match my HID headlight color-wise.

Since I already have the HID, I won't be exploring any LED headlights. I can highly recommend the HID kit that I got from Motorcycle Metal though; it's not a simple plug and play, but not that difficult to install either and the difference is.... like night and day.
