No personal experience with these but I've heard good things about Sunpies lights. And theyre pretty cheap.

I replaced all three lights up front.
So far so good (had them just over 1.5 years)

I got a sunpie in my RK, but it required a little finessing to make it fit perfectly. Nothing a file couldn't take care of though. I'm picky about how stuff fits though.

Did any of you other guys running the Sunpies have to file or modify them to get them to fit right? I am thinking of getting my head light and the two spotlights changed out to Sunpies but I don't want to do it if I have to modify them.

Heard of guys struggling and cutting out buckets, but mine went right in, no issues at all. One thing though, the security key showed up after install, put on the high beam, it went out.

I'm running the Sunpie's on my RK. Easy install for mine, no mods needed. Very happy with them.
