LED replacement 'bulbs'
In searching through the various threads in the forum, there seemed to be lots of discussion on the different products, but I wonder if anyone might have insights to which product seems to be the best from a functionality point of view. I am speaking specifically on the replacement for the halogen in the later model RK...I think it is an H4?
From where I am coming from is a 90%+ daytime rider, who is looking to add a little more visibility - no need to replace entire headlight...others may (probably) have different, but maybe overlapping requirements.
Thoughts?
tnx
Edit: I guess I should have added: is this worth it? Is there enough difference?

DK Customs is what I went with for a replacement H4 bulb. Yes, it makes a lot of difference. I try not to ride at night either, but on my last ride I was a little later arriving home and I could tell a huge difference over the stock bulb.

Thanks for the replies....noodling around, I have seen prices all over the place, which is part of the reason for the post.
Also, I have seen posts that suggest that LED lights are less visible during the day than halogen...really?

Led are less visible in daylight. That why I didn't change out my passing lights, which I use as DRL

I also went with the DK Customs replacement bulbs and they are much brighter. Went for a ride the other day and a cop heading the opposite direction honked his horn at me. I can only assume he thought my lights were on bright. This was during daylight hours. I have been on rides with others that have the Daymaker from HD and I couldn't tell if his headlight was even on. You would not be disappointed with the DK bulbs.
