I'm fed up of riding back after a session only to have to stop by home depot, and buy 2 new xenon bulbs. I'm throwing all my money away buying incandescents!

So, after a few hours of research, these were the brightest I could find. $30 bucks a pop. But to never have to take my damn headlight off again... might be worth it.

Anyone have any experience with these?

never had a problem with tha bulbs just the wires pullin out

 

my wires kept popping out to. So I would ride with them out in the lot till time to go home which is like two blocks from my spot. My whole damn bulb assembly was missing. Anyways anyone know where to get that whole part. Thanks

 

ha my acerbis both of the bulbs for the normal headlight are broken out so I just roll with the projector, it seems to like to burn up switches though.

Just ordered 2 of the MR16's, and 1 of the MR11's. $83 bucks all said and done.

I know I could of just bought a DOT approved headlight like the UFO or the Cyclops... but I do like the look of the Diamond.

I'll let you guys know how it looks once the bulbs come in.

BTW, here's a vid I found on youtube comparing led's and halogens.

Keep in mind the CREE I ordered is brighter (by 60 lumens) than the one in the video. Now double that since I'll have 2 of those lamps in my headlight... now add another 80 lumen spotlight flood from the MR11 on the side.

I think this will actually look good on the street! Lol. I'm tired of lighting up the top of trees and overpasses too. I know people have to hate seeing my current bulbs at night head on.

not a bad deal, i might have to check that out

 

I've had the same acerbis for 2 years now, it spent over a year on my dirt bike, and its been on my f4i for nearly a year, and never burnt ONE bulb


I even run the 55w bulbs from home depot, like $12 for 3.. I've had a spare sitting around for 2 years lol

 

not bad.

 

I have 3 years on my lights, and they were used when I got em. Never burnt a bulb yet!

 

+1 , Ive never blown a bulb the friggin wires pull out , and I have to twist em on the hot *** bulb just to try to make it back home at night from the spot.

 

the bulb that is on the side with the small running light, blew out in like a week of running it, i contacted acerbis about it and they gave me a run around and i couldn't order a new one, and the bulb has its own power and negative wire ******* soldered on there so i can't replace it.

 

i've had mine for 2 years....its gone thru 2 bikes lol never had to replace a bulb



knock on wood

 

anyone ever have problems with the thing getting in the way when you turn? it seems like the back of the light assemby gets caught up on the open square on the front on the frame and i even sanded the part down and it still gets in the way anyone know if im doin someting wrong or if this is a common problem? thanks

 

I made a bracket mount for mine instead of using the rubber boots... maybe that's why I'm killing the bulbs.

I did the bracket so that I had room for all the cables and whatnot in front. Got all the room in the world there now =)

Can't find a descent picture of it... I'll take one tomorrow and throw it on here.

Either way, with LED's my problem "should" be over.

i never blew mine yet..... but the ends got so corroded the pins fell out. i just bought 10 of the halogen ones for my bike on ebay for 20 bucks shipped...now i got many spares with no worries

 

Does it affect LED's if you get their surface dirty, like real xenon's? Maybe you touched them with your fingers and made them burn that way. I'm just guessing though, as I have never tried these.

 

naw it doesent matter if the leds get dirty, just them crappy xenons dont last once you put your dirty little dick beaters on them.....

 

u have bunk wiring... and try walmart in the lighting isle

 

I love my new LED bulbs. All in all a little less bright than a pair of 50w xenon bulbs, but the color of the light is close to that of a HID, but with obviously less light output. They're super pure white. 7000k I believe.

They draw 7 watts which is like nothing. If I put my bike to "run" and listen to the fuel pump, I can click the lights on and off, and the fuel pump sounds exactly the same.

And now I can go practice, and see my way home too!
