Default Put H11 LED bulbs in SGS, not sure it's for me

Installed the Sirius Cree H11 bulbs in. To me, the low beam is brighter than the stock halogen, and I can definitely see farther. Switching to high beam, the light pattern is wider and fuller, but not sure it's drastically different than the stock halogen. I may be trying to get past the bluish purple tint to the lights as opposed to the white color of the halogens. I did find the factory adjustment on the head lamp was pointed too far down toward the road. May have to ride a buddy's bike then mine at night to do back to back comparison. Has anyone run an LED for low beam, and a halogen for high beam.

Did you use H11 for both? The high beam is supposed to be an H9 which is higher wattage/brighter light.

I'm reading nothing but great things about these H11 Cree bulbs and the Fuel Moto LED bulb kit and will be installing mine soon. Dumb question but have you made sure you headlight is adjusted correctly?

Yes, as mentioned in my original post.
I did not have Fuel Moto kit so everyone is clear.

I put the H11 Cree bulbs in mine, and I can see a lot better at night than the stock ones. But it is a little different pattern.
