Huh??

edit: oh, now I understand. Yes, sometimes it is such that the other is brighter than the other. Otherwise, the brightest shall be less than that. Consequently, brightness is not.

Silver, black....cosmetic. Choose the one you like the best for the appearance.

They are both very bright.

No difference, the reflection/projection is from the LED bulb itself. I guess to the novice it's a reasonable question.

Do your pocketbook a favor and buy them from the manufacturer JW Speaker. They are the OEM supplier for the motor company. This will save you some of the dealer markup.

Also if you want improve the lighting while turning check out the adaptive models that throws light in the direction of your turn through sequential LEDs in the side of the housing. If I recall correctly online retailers like RevZilla carry them.

Also just ahead this one off at the pass a quick search will turn up information verifying that JW is indeed the supplier for HD. ( because we all know the motor company makes their own stuff right?)
