LED Headlamps Opinions


Recommended Posts

Price aside, what are your thoughts on these 5.75" LED head lamps? Anyone have them?

I am thinking about installing a pair onto my Stalker.

I guess it depends how often you drive in the dark, for most it is not a priority, unless of course you want more daytime viz.

I like the later 5.75" 4 barrel over the pepper pot ones, they remind me of the plastic carpet protector shield I have my office chair on right now.

Seems that most people don't run into "educated" law enforcement officers but if you might then make sure whatever you buy has a DOT stamp or you can get cited for illegal equipment. I had to install a set of DOT legal lights to pass for registration. Some states ban HID lights even with a DOT stamp unless you have the self leveling device factory cars need to use them. Seems that they are so bright that they can blind oncoming traffic if they are allowed to aim too high by changing the ride attitude of the car.

That said, the LED lights look like a really good option, both for less power draw and because my incandescent bulbs seem to not like the shock from bumps and berms. Came home from a long ride after dark New Years Day by the light of one headlight again :-).
