I have them. Darlas. 2000 lumens each, 30 degree projection angle, fully dim-able with rotary switch from 15% to 85% brightness when using low beam headlight, full on w/high beam headlight, with independent power switch.

Thanks Hamms, impressive lights for sure. I like those killer lumens and that small diameter and depth. They'd fit right in where the turn signals are now located.
But, I really couldn't spend $500 for the pair. I'll have to look for something more in line with my budget. I've ordered a couple of different units from Ebay, I'll post pics once I get the ones I like best mounted. There are quite a few options for replacement turn signals, so that part shouldn't be a problem.

Guess it depends on how your shop is set up and what equipment you have available. For me that would be such a pain in the *** that I would just forgoe the experiment.

Gotcha.
The price of LED lights are going down all over.
Some will show a very wide pattern, some are more direct, you must choose for the effect you want.
I just bought 2 4" LED lights for truck backup lights, very powerful, only around $25 for both. Wide beam, but does the job well.
The quality of the diodes is KEY.
No way I would fork over $300 plus for two aux lights for my bike, personally. Shop around.
