Hid vs led
I just switched from an hid conversion bulb to the trucklite phase 7 headlight. I found the hid lit things up better but the light was bothering oncoming traffic. So I got the trucklite led, it is nice but not as brite as I was hoping, much better than stock of course and the oncoming traffic is happy. Im just wondering if an hid projector conversion would be better? Brighter light and hopfully keep it out of the the oncoming traffics eyes. Has anyone compared the two? I really find the led in corners is too short sighted. I just want to know if there are some better options?
Thanks...
Thanks...
I have a RG, I tried many different halogen bulbs before i went to HIDs, the HIDs were definitely better, then I went to a projector HID, I had mixed feelings about it compared to regular HIDs, now I have an LED system and am much happier. Kury or HD don't make a system for my bike yet. Have you properly adjusted your system?

Could you post some pictures of the LED system you have?

Don't have a pic now but it does stick out some and you need to install a trim ring for it to look right IMO.
These are some pics of the projectors I had. The first two pics are off the bike, the third and fourth are comparing the looks with the lights off and on, the fifth is with both in and the lights on.
