Hi John,
(A lot) less consumption, whiter, more visible light & i believe they run a lot cooler to. So where´s the catch?
I´ve seen kits for motorcycles offered on the internet at around 80 quid.
Hi Vince,the kit that I fitted cost £35 inclusive of postage from Hong Kong! The only catch is that you have to find a home for the power pack , which is an aluminium box about 100mm x 80mm , and the operating relay, which I have fitted in the headlamp shell. There is another consideration about what happens when abroad, and the bulb fails? Not a problem as the bulb holder and its wiring readily accept a standard halogen bulb. My kit has been fitted since 2008, and completed the trip around eastern Europe and the three continental rallies and is still going strong, but I do know of two others where the dip beam shield failed but the light still worked . Possibly the more expensive kit will overcome this issue. The only other minor problem is that ,if you are into headlight flashing, the warm up time (about 6 seconds) renders the flasher useless. John
