Difference between Daymaker LED Headlights
Looking to see if anyone knows what the difference is between the old style Daymaker LED headlight like the one below:
And the new one that they just introduced. Which can be found at the following link:

It looks like there are more reflectors/deflectors or something of the sort in the second one. I'm assuming it was designed to make up for the inadequacies of the original Daymaker and fill in all of the "blind" spots that it had e.g. the 6 or so feet in front of the bike and the majority of the peripheral areas...
If anyone knows the difference in actual output, please share your knowledge here. I'm sure there are quite a few more than myself that would be interested to hear...

After a bit of creative Googling, I found a PDF about the release of the new-style Daymaker LED.
As you probably saw for yourself, it states that it has a "Brighter and more efficient light pattern than the current
5 3/4-inch Daymaker™ Headlamp"

But the cut off lines leave a lot to be desired around hard turns and freeway loops...

Wow! I just got the "old" model about 10-12 days ago. Had I known, I'd have gotten the "new and improved" one. Oh well.
