Default RE: LED replacement bulbs


<”Monstermile”>

<”Off axis mine are very viewable. If you do some research you will see that all LED bulbs (each one that makes up a cluster) are not created equal. Some have a broader spectrum of light than others. Your cheaper LED boards and direct replacement bulbs will not be as viewable off axis as say a higher quality unit that uses higher quality individule LED bulbs. “>

Good response monstermile, that is why we paid big bucks for some thing that works, angle (view off axis) is everything w/LED’s as are how bright each one is, not all are equal, how they are mounted to the board is just as important, and Radiantz, doesn’t use a “chrome reflectors” at the first sign of a “chrome reflector” think: cheap, weak, bulbs. If you want an example of a cheap set-up read wannavee reply.
To others if you go wLED’s don’t go cheap ! it cost money to design/make a good LED.

Looking at the pic’s from your bike is like looking at mine turn/run except I have clear lens, nice set-up.

They're everywhere. Custom Dynamics is extremely popular, but there are others.

I have replaced every bulb in every vehicle I own, except headlights. Those have been left out because of budget, but good LED headlights are now available also.

Check https://www.superbrightleds.com for all kinds of options.

kinda closed the gate after horse ran off here....I already bought a supposedly plug an play bulb...the theory is to just r/r the oem halogen bulb with the led.

$70 "Daymaker" clone. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01DZ...7fL&ref=plSrch

First "review" seems very positive. I ay buy one just for the hell of it. I'm waiting on the adaptive JW Speaker to revise and price drop once before I invest real coin.

I can see that , Matter of fact prolly follow the same thing if this ''cheap'' plan fails miserably. dem speaker products are highly touted.

I'm that one and the more I ride, the more I like that headlight lol.

Search on aliexpress 32648962338 to find out the one I bought, for what I see on the comments the seller always ship either with FedEx or DHL, I got it via FedEx without any customs.

I can't speak for anyone else... and I've seen a lot of bashing for just replacing the bulbs versus fixtures. But..... I've got both; replaced my entire turn signal housings with new led's but with the headlamp I replaced only the bulb. I have to say I haven't had one issue with either. As others have stated sometimes it's just the quality of a product. I wanted a brighter headlamp but wasn't interested in spending 2-300 dollars on a new headlamp. So $18 later (check out my post history for the brand and where to buy).... almost 5000 miles later I'm still loving it and no issues.


Food for thought....
