They do. Here is a pic of them in my passing lights, versus an HID in my headlight. I will be replacing the HID with the same type of LED bulb -

Unfortunately a pic looking at the light shows nothing. For a comparison you need a pic looking in front of the bike taken while sitting on it, and then a pic from the same spot on a bike with the LED headlamp (preferably installed in the same bike too for an apples to apples comparison). I glad you like your LED bulbs but I stand by my statement.

My experience, i.e. seen with my own eyes, tells me they are brighter, with a clear pattern. The led bulbs is as shown that has two Cree LED in front, with 2 on each side, 4 sides. Also, the lumens of the LED bulb are almost twice that of the 27w halogen 881 bulb, 950 vs. 565. But, you can pay $365 vs. $15 if you want if you still don't believe.

Already did. I believe you that those are brighter/better than halogens, but not than the expensive LED headlamps. Would love to see that comparison. Also curious about the life of those. My experience with those types of bulbs (have purchased some eBay ones for auto purposes just never for my bike) have not been favorable.

Please don't take this as me bashing you for getting those bulbs, I am sure they are an improvement. I am just skeptical/down right not believing them being comparable to the LED headlamps from TruckLite or HD.
