First impressions.  MUCH whiter, more defined and longer beams!

Yep, must have swapped the connectors when I installed the 665 harness and bluetooth.

I just saw those today at the dealer.  Didn't even know they were available.  The HID revolution was short lived.  Now I can replace the Halogen in the FXR with something high tech.

Been debating installing LED on the SEEG, so went to the dealer to check the bulbs out today.  First of all, despite the high price they are popular, dealer sold out.  They were installing a 7" headlight and the tech let me look one over. I will say looks pretty high tech and I can see where the money goes (at least most of it).  The headlight alone must weigh 10 lbs!  Anyway, they are bright and can see they would be a big improvement over my stock halogens, but the price...arghhhh!

And Pete, that 10 pounds is not a plus.  I'm tired of adding weight (spkrs, etc) to my scooter, esp. up high and on the steering neck.  spyder
