The LED lighting is a vast improvement over the halogen for any nighttime riding. The HD and TL7 models both do an excellent job. I wish using lights in the daytime reduced accidents. Unfortunately, statistics show there's no difference. One theory is that drivers simply don't pay attention or don't look. They even pulll out in front of a fire engine with zillions of red lights flashing. Another is that there are so many headlights on in the daytime all seem to just blend in. There's no info on modulated lights. The best advice is to drive/ride like you are invisible. Never think your daytime lights will protect you. They will not. But LED lights will vastly improve your vision of the road at night. And that makes you safer.

Bogie you're killing us here. Enough suspense alreadyLOL. All kidding aside how's your latest comparison coming along. I'm dying, as well as a good many theres to see how the 7's compare to the 6's. By the way I have the 7 (not installed yet) but I do have the PH6 passing lights installed.

Working on it as I send this...

I do have to wait for some additional notes from Travis, who worked with me on this again.

Unfortunately, my real job got in the way and then my dang truck broke down yesterday, which killed the time I was going to spend last night...

I know, I know - excuses, excuses...

Also have to share the attached pic... don't see too, too many that look like this...

Posting the review as soon as I get with Travis...

Great review guys!!! But you forgot to include the dead critter prop in the road for the P7 photos. LOL

And I see Travis is jumping ship now. I'm impressed.
