Default ear Brake LED Headlight

Has anyone tried the new Gear Brake LED direct plug in bulb replacement? There was an article in American Iron magazine touting the amazing light output from this LED bulb. I just ordered one as the majority of my riding is on dark rural windy roads. $60.00 so it better be good!

You might want to check reviews to see if it causes interference with your radio also. I assume if it did it would have been stated in American iron. But I had one in my Dyna and I liked it a lot. EST thing would be to get a whole new lighting unit like the one from hogworkz. But they run 235 or so

No reviews that I could find on this particular bulb direct replacement. I guess they are a newer company. The company and guys who run it have good reviews and so does their LED taillight. No reviews on the headlight other than in American Iron about the headlight bulb. I heard that the LEDs have in some cases affected FM radio reception. Since I only listen to CD's XM satellite radio and I-Pod I should be ok as the LEDs aren't suppose to affect these pieces?

Don't know anything about the company but only FM would be affected if anything so you should be good to go. I have had an issue with a hyper bright light on a Road Glide that caused FM reception to suck but iPod NP.
