7" dia. LED Headlight. Anyone buy this?
Has anyone purchased this headlight? Universal Motorcycle 7" Mat Black LED Headlight Suzuki GSF Project Streetfighter | eBay
I have been looking to upgrade the two 65W/100W H3 fog lights that I have been using as headlights (I know, I know). I was looking at new technology, LED's, but for decent quality and decent light output, you pay through the roof. However, I just came across the LED headlight above for a good price. I was seeing if any of you guys purchased this LED headlight, and could tell me if it's worth buying it or not.
Otherwise, I will just go for one or possibly two retrofit projectors.

I found this light too for a smokin' price. However, it doesn't have a hi/low beam.

The amount of Lumens are rather pointless... It's like saying my pedal bike goes faster than yours because it's red...
It's how the light is distrbuted and focused that matters for a headlight... A bright light that blinds oncoming drivers and doesn't really have a beam to light the road for you is pretty useless, don't you think?
There's a reason that good LED headlights cost money, and probably also a reason that these are cheap...

Matt (CruxGNZ) take it from here and listen to Tweety's advice, it will save you allot of aggravation!

So while I haven'tt tried these particular one's... I have tried a bunch or relatively cheap LED variations of headlights... None of them worked well...Actually, with the price of those, it's not too far off a HID projector... So, I'd rather get one of those, and get real light...
