    this fool WAS parted from some money

    traded my F6 for an 1800A

    wanted to get a set of LEDs for the highbeams....

    saw these on ebay, but couldn't believe they would be as good as the EC $106.99 version from wingstuff

    wow, is this suspiciously identical !

    these were $19.95 (free shipping) on ebay

    the only things missing are the two aluminum spacers, got 2 bakelite spacers for $5.99 (total package ready to install $24.99)

    W.C. Fields was right.
    What? Coffee ISN'T free?

    Let us know how they last. Heck of a deal even if you had to buy 2 sets for every 1 of the EC,


    I doubt you get much more riding in than I do between now and April tho

    I was wanting to try LED's but balked at the cost of $100+.
    Let us know how they work out.
    Wouldn't mind trying this route if you give a thumbs up on them.
    How did you find spacer sizes???

    Where did you get the spacers? Update on install please.

    BTW, I purchased 3 sets of LED H11 lights for $24.95 each set on eBay for my wife's T&C van's headlights, brights and fog lights. The difference was unbelievable. I am kicking myself for not doing it earlier. I have an Acura with factory LED lights and they are similar.

    I was was thinking of doing the same with the bike but wasn't sure if a spacer was needed and where to get the spacers if needed.

    ebay - cree

    Cree LEDs, sold on ebay seems to make a very good LED at a very fair price. I brought a pair of fog & a pair of spots for my V-Strom. Tough, great looking & give off a good light.
