LED vs HID

Thanks and That’s the point!

QUOTE=Joflewbyu2;169079]That would cause trouble where I am at. The number of lights illuminated is illegal in the U.S. Someone might swerve coming at you or slam on their brakes when you are behind. Just pisses people off. Not something you would want to do on a motorcycle.[/QUOTE]


Point well taken but of course you realize the hi beams are on in the pic, and the lowers cannot be seen when you are behind someone.
And since I have a Goldwing converted to F6B I’m able to raise or lower the light beam on the fly so not to blind on coming traffic or those I’m behind. Like I said it’s more for daytime driving than night and I’m sure most can agree they have had more close calls during the day than night. (I know because we ride more in the day)

Now for the burning question which light works with killers talking on cell phones while driving?

It used to be (3 years ago?) that even though they were bright, LEDs wouldn't "throw" anywhere near as far as HIDs.
Technology has caught up a lot and while HIDs will still put more light further down range - it's getting almost too close to call.

This is Isleen's front look.
All SoCal LEDs except the steerable light under the low beams - that's a WIR police LED bar.

They light up EVERYTHING.

And if she REALLY wants to be seen?
