Default Who's using Paradise Lights LED's

I'm considering getting a single LED H4 from Paradise Lights LLC to replace my stock headlight bulb in my 2012 SG. They are a small company but getting great reviews. Looking for thoughts from those that are using them. Specifically the single LED.

I am using them on my Ultra including the driving lamps. They throw a lot of light, to the point that cars flash their lights at me on occasion. For the coin spent they work great

I used to but I switched to LED lamps. The Paradise bulbs lit up the road very well but they interfered with my radio and I couldn't take the sound of the headlight bulb fan running constantly. But for the money, they can't be beat. Oh and the owner is a very nice guy, providing great service.

They flash at you because you can’t put an led “bulb” in a headlight designed for for a halogen bulb.

I would rather be flashed and seen than no flashed and no seen.

That's why my LED's are a little raised for my viewing pleasure.

Installed the LED from Paradise Lights today. Ed, the owner also sent me a LED Canbus (to eliminate the FM radio interference) for free. It's definitely a BRIGHT light and I too would rather be seen than not. And yes, the owner answered all my questions promptly and thoroughly. Great customer service IMO.

Glaring light will reduce other drivers ability to judge your distance and speed, increasing the likely hood of an accident.

No! The fan can barely be heard and that's only when the ignition is on and engine not running. The only issue I had was the clip that holds the LED in place.....it was a challenge to get that clip securely seated due to the different size of the LED
