Go back into your winter hibernation if you awoke grumpy and hungry!

I agree as well. No call for such arrogance. It's not like we have Google for a search engine here. The search function here sucks and you know it.

Thinking of trying the Fuel Moto LED conversion. I like the look of the dual halogen over the Daymaker. And starting a new thread is great. Most other forums hate when you resurrect an old thread because the info is old and sometimes so long they get tired of trying to figure out where it's going and how it ended up on an entirely different subject. JMO.

I'm considering the fuelmoto led for my 2015 street glide special. Does anyone know if this led replacement has the same specs as the stock incandescent bulb? I didn't see the specs listed on Fuelmoto's site. I'm curious about the wattage and current draw. Thanks in advance.

From FM website:

Keep your existing headlight and save money
2,500 Lumens Output
LED technology
Bright White Beam @ 6000K
Superior color contrast in all road conditions
Low power draw will not drain battery (0.8A vs 4.5A for OEM bulb)
Installs in minutes
Built in ballast
Active heat management system
Hi / Lo Dual beam
1 year limited manufacturer warranty

It looks like a Cyron LED that FM re-branded. Try a search on the Cyron if you need more specifics.

I have the Cyron and love it.

Oh yeah, and sorry to all. Didn't mean to stir up such controversy!

No controversy... Some of us enjoy updated and current information.

Question for you guys running the FuelMoto LED headlight, or FuelMoto can respond if they see this. I have an '12 FLHTK and just put in one of the FuelMoto LED headlights. In doing so, because of the fan sticking out the back end, I could not put the OEM rubber boot back on. Since I end up getting caught in the

rain multiple times I year I am concerned about this being a problem as water can make its way back there, thus the original OEM rubber boot. I don't want to be a 200 miles from home, riding in the rain, and have the headlight go out.

So my question to those who have run with it for a year+, and have been caught in the rain on multiple occasions; have you had any problems or concerns of this LED heading in the rain?

The LEDs never missed a beat. The only thing I did notice was late in the week the inside of the headlight was foggy with moisture. The LEDs don't create enough heat to dissipate the moisture as quickly. Once the rain was gone, the headlight cleared up rather quick though.
