I have the sunpie lights from amazon also. The headlight is fairly visible in the day time but the spots can't be missed IMHO. At night night there is no comparison.

Paradise Lighting is the Bomb...LED replacement bulbs for your stock bucket, they are so bright you will get flashed during the day, and the price is like $100. with shipping, the service is outstanding and you can talk to Ed on the phone anytime ! They are a plug and play it took me 10 min. to do the install and they come with a 2 year warranty.... Ed is great check him out on Facebook, good luck on you choice.

The Sunpie looks good! But they don’t spell very well. Do they?

I run the trucklite and guys I ride with complain when I am behind them..


YES the headlight is adjusted properly which is a big deal when swapping to an LED headlight, they definitely have to be re-adjusted..

Yep. I like em. Bright as all get out and cheap. They seem to hold up so far. I got a 3 light set off EBAY for like $90. I figured for that price I couldn't go wrong.

I hope this helps.

LED's are a very focused light source. They work great at night to light up what they focused on but they lack the dispersion that you get with a halogen bulb. I run a CD headlight in my SG but Halogens in my RK. I think that the amber bulbs are less attractive but way more visible in daylight.
