Looking forward to seeing reviews on the led bulb! Curious to hear how it fits in the headlamp housing in addition to light pattern etc. course I still have the original 2015 headlamp reflector assembly on my bike...

Thanks for letting us know about your LED headlight installation. Please do keep us updated regarding your experience, and evaluation of this fanless LED bulb.

Jontando, if you can, I'd love to see a pic of the LED beam pattern on a wall at 25 feet.

Looks the same as one CSC's but they're claiming only 1200 lumens ?
Must be a misprint because it says it's 7400k

CSC is offering 2 types: 36 watt with a different type of heat sink
And a: 20 watt both rated at 3000 lumen

I'm so confused about the light ratings. Is the stock light that terrible? I see tons of these bulbs online. So get one with the heat braid, and 3000lm minimum?

[Inroads]

It was a huge difference just going to 55/60 watt bulb and I have not
Heard of anyone having an issue with the lense because of the extra heat.
But these LED's are cool(no pun intended)with their lower wattage and higher lumen capability.

Before I cut a hole in the back of the headlight housing, the extra heat from the 55W/60 bulb definitely created some bubbling at the top of the plastic reflector. Since cutting the hole, the damage has not worsened.

The 7400k is the light color not the power the lower the number the more yellow the higher the number the more blue the light is. The normal lumens of a 55W/H4 bulb is around 1200 at high beam.

Color Temp Color Description
3000K Yellow Emits a yellow light. Often used in place of halogen fog lamps.
5000K Pure White Emits a pure white light. This is the color of choice for most car manufactures and can be found equipped on a wide range of vehicles. Used if you want the most light output and the best performance.
6000K Crystal White Emits a pure white light with a very subtle hint of blue, this is the most popular color choice for aftermarket HID installs.
8000K Light Blue Emits a more blue light than 6000K but is not defined as true blue because it has a hint of white.
10,000K Blue Emits a dark blue light output that is close to violet in the color spectrum. Visibility is significantly decreased.
12,000K Violet Emits a violet/purple light. This color has the least light output and should not be used for nighttime driving.

Maybe I wasn't clear....this one shows 1200 lumens.
CSC's one looks the same but they claim 3000 lumens.

Thanks Keithmaine on clearing up k's

i ordered a 30watt 3000 lms with the aluminum heat sink from amazon only thing i was unclear about is what it puts out on low beam the csc one is 2000lm on low and 3000lm on high but for 25.00 bucks will try it out.

Is CSC selling the updated Headlight housing? Didn't I read that it was more suited to spreading LED light than the original reflector?

[willy dog]

the older LED lights had more of a directional pattern now they are 360deg. i think this works better with older housing
