LED Lights

I have a 2009 CVO Ultra that comes with HID Lighting. I feel I need more light so does anyone think that the new LED lights will make a difference.

Be the guinea pig. Give them a try and post the results and lots of pics. Lots of people waiting for the first one to try it. Myself included.

I dont know the price you would pay thru a dealership. But I purchased through this Place for better rear lighting on my trike. What a difference!

I have replaced several HD LEDS on bikes over the last few years. They seem not to be very bright! I replace them with

I use the LED STEP Style (not associated with this company and believe they are a sponsor?)

Less LEDS needed for the best effect.........MyRide7

I've got the LED headlamp and passing lamps installed. They are pretty incredible. I don't know where you are, or I would offer to meet up and let you see the difference (I have seen it, and the LED gives more and better light).

I do not get it...

The HID and LED are both $525. The HID requires a lot of extra wiring, finding a place to hide the ballast, and replacement bulbs that are expensive and hard to find. The LED is brighter, no extra wiring, no ballast and no bulbs to replace ever.

You are correct, you do not get it.
