My Dyna SG has Vizor driving lights, they came with 50 watt Halogen bulbs. While they provide lots of light they also put out a bunch of heat. Had a chronic problem with the light housings getting so hot {especially during the Tucson summers}, that the glass lenses would shatter when you hit a major bump {replacement lenses go for $9.99 a pair}. Add in stop and go traffic and it only got worse.

I got by for most of the summer by switching to 20 watt Halogen bulbs but while they were significantly cooler they put out a lot less light basically defeating the purpose of having the driving lights in the first place. Yesterday I was browsing Home Depot and stumbled upon the solution to my light problem.

In the landscape lighting section I came across some Philips, 4 element LED, 7 watt - rated {500 Lumens} to replace 50 watt Halogens for just $6.67 a piece. They fit the Vizor housings {same two prong connection}, but the front curve of the bulb cluster does protrude into the glass lens of the lights. Since the 4 LED cluster is sealed I just removed the glass lenses and popped in the LED's.

As you can see from this pic {obviously taken in a dark garage}, these things are really bright. I'm not sure how but the camera has captured the reflection of the four element LED's reflecting off of the Batwing fairing... very weird:



Now I have nice bright driving lights with all of the light of the 50 watt Halogens but none of the destructive heat.

 

Cool, no pun intended.

 

Nice!

 

how is light output compared to halogen??? my work won't let a lot of photos through, so I cannot see your picture..... do you get enough light at night to make it worthwhile? or is this a bright white light and noticeable in daytime running???
