Does anyone running these light on their bikes?
I just install this and the light is not bright at all for me. Must use high beam to see the roads at night. Is anyone experience the same thing? Let me know thanks!!

What kind of LED Lamps? LED lamp or LED bulb? Have you adjusted it properly? I have 3 Harleys all LED lamps, they're lit up like UFO, and they light up the road WAY better than my F-150...

What do you mean by UFO? It's hard to understand what is going on and how to help with stuff like that.
I have the truck lite headlight and truck lite passing lamps on my 95 Heritage. After I installed them, I backed my bike up 25 feet from a wall, held the bike up straight and sat on it. I then adjusted my headlight as per the procedure in the factory service manual.
The Truck Lite is marked which side should be up or on top. If you install it upside down, then the aim will be crazy.
I also have a pair of truck lite headlights installed on my Jeep.
They work great in both.
If you lowered your bike or put a giant wheel up front, your adjustment will be off. If you are a fat ***, then you will need to adjust it while sitting on the bike. That is how it should be done even if you are a skinny pencil necked geek.
If none of this makes sense to you, go to a very dark unobstructed straight stretch of road, sit on the bike while stopped and holding it straight up while sitting on it, and take pictures of how it illuminates the road both on high and low beam and post them here.
It's pretty simple though. A lot of people just overthink it.

I can tilt my headlamp up and use it for UFO spotting.
