$1.99....I wouldn't expect it to last very long; but then again for $20 you can get 10 of them and if each last 1 month you're covered for the riding season.

Yep and mine are over THREE YEARS OLD! ( About 60,000 miles.)

I ride to work at 5:30 a.m. in the dark, through the woods and that white light really brightens things up. Great investment. Enjoy 'em!

Definitely interested in result as I hate stock one and am to poor/cheap to buy PIAA ones.

I gues we'll be looking for feedback from you, since you just installed them...

I bought a cheap pack of 4 last summer for my Ultra. 4000 miles later they are still going strong. All the posts about buying cheap lights had me scared. I packed an extra bulb and my old headlight bulb (switched out for a sylvania silverstar) for half the riding season last year. Never needed them.

I've bought a few things on e-bay that seemed rather cheap, but out lasted the " good stuff ", for the price you can't go wrong.

Ok compared to the stockers these are a huge improvment. WAY brighter and wider. It's unreal actually, for the price it's a real good deal.

25 years ago I was on a country road riding at night through a swamp were the trees covered the road and my head light went out. Couldn't see my hand in front of my face. I had a bates housing and put the high beam switch in the High beam indicator lamp hole on the top of the headlight (It was a see no wires thing). I ran drag bars so I had to reach through the 3 1/2 OC vertical risers to change low/high. I was doing 50-60 mph and got on the brakes pretty fast with no way to get to the H/L switch and brake/clutch too. I got myself ready to go off of the right side of the road to a gravel / mud and swamp shoulder. At about 5 mph I went down and was off of the left side of the road. Never saw it coming. Changed everything the next day. Not saying these are bad lights as others have had good results. Just sayin don't take light for granted cause when it's gone you miss it pretty quick.
