all in 1 headlight
I am wondering if anyone has any advice between the two all in 1 headlights. I'm going to eliminate my turn signals with these lights:

i'd have to see one in action to accept their claims that "this allows you to remove factory turn signals, clean up the front end and be legal"
i used to have a vw bug. had the bucket style headlights and i did the cali conversion to the headlights with the turn signals built in. looked bad *** when stopped. couldn't see the turn signal flashing if the headlight were turned on.

I expect LEDs to run bright. Since the headlights on a Motorcycle are always on i would hope its bright enough.
Maybe i'll hitup youtube and see if someone has an example i can see.

That's kinda what I am thinking. Seems to be putting too many eggs in one basket but I have not seen it or have any idea how long it would run before burning out.

Looks cool but I'd be nervous that cagers won't notice the turn signals when they're on.....looks like they'd be difficult to see against that shine of the headlight. As others have said, I kinda doubt these are DOT approved. Think twice before you fork out the cash......ride safe.

I bought the one on ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/7-HALOGEN-MO...46a1a0&vxp=mtr
I also have some bullet turns that can mount to my fork. So I'll see which is best. I'm hoping the headlight will work out, since it will clean up the front.
swapping out bars is a real bitch. so i'm lumping in a bunch of project into one.
Grips, turns, bars & levers.
running cablis is very difficult!!

I would absolutely want to see one in operation before dropping any cash on this idea. I cast one more vote on the turn signals being invisible to anyone who is within the main headlight beam glare and therefor suspect they would not pass the legal requirements in many or all states.
If I were to generate a list of gadgets which are solutions which don't solve an underlying problems, this would be on that list. As far as running wires in the handlebars, wires to and from the turn signal switches are required no matter where the turn signal lights are mounted. This headlight arrangement would save no handlebar wiring.
