    5.75 inch LED motorcycle headlight options?

    Just wanted to say that the new (correct) headlight arrived today and the color is closer to the other one (lower Kelvin) but there's still a small difference. I guess that the black made up the majority of the difference even though they are not exactly the same color. Now I just have to aim...

    5.75 inch LED motorcycle headlight options?

    That is the page I wanted to link, my bad. I meant "personal preference" within certain limits, say 0.5% to 2% maybe? Is there an official percentage or tolerance or is it just more or less 1%? Even looking the JW Speaker PDF, I can see that they align the low part of the beam straight, so if...

    5.75 inch LED motorcycle headlight options?

    I'm trying to sell the black headlight on eBay and buy a chrome one (by the way, if anyone is interested in buying it I can send you the ad - if it's allowed by the forum rules). In the meantime, I'd like to properly adjust them to have them light the road at night. I searched online and found...

    5.75 inch LED motorcycle headlight options?

    Today the second headlight arrived, but of course something had to go wrong: looking at both of them installed, the right one has a black bezel and the left one has a chrome one, even though both are supposed to be chrome... Anyways, one noticeable difference between the two is the color...

    5.75 inch LED motorcycle headlight options?

    That's something that I actually wanted to ask myself after installing the headlight. I was surprised that there was no "step" to the right to light up the road ahead. But then again this is supposed to be one of the few legal LED retrofit headlamps and I'm not sure on the laws regarding the...

    5.75 inch LED motorcycle headlight options?

    I'm sorry, are you talking about LED headlights or headlights in general? Because the housings are OEM, so they must be legal with halogen reflectors. They are vertically adjustable, just not individually. I'm sure with two LED units the cutoff would be at the same exact height. It might be. I...

    5.75 inch LED motorcycle headlight options?

    So, I found a good deal on a 8690M (non adaptive) for $300 + shipping and jumped at the opportunity. I installed it today and even in daylight it completely destroys the halogen bulb in both beam width and lumen output. Strangely enough when I swapped the old headlight for the LED one, both...

    Where to get custom ceramic glass for halogen light fixture made in Europe?

    I wanted to see if it was feasible to retrofit LEDs in the halogen fixture and am having some issues in choosing the right components, maybe you could help? I found a low profile LED driver (with TRIAC dimming) which I could fit in the fixture with some minor cutting, it's the ERP...

    Where to get custom ceramic glass for halogen light fixture made in Europe?

    I don't think I have the knowledge to Frankenstein the fixtures with LEDs plus the required drivers without setting something on fire :sigh:, plus one of them would still be missing its glass protector which would collect dust on the LEDs (I'm assuming that wouldn't be a good thing for...

    Where to get custom ceramic glass for halogen light fixture made in Europe?

    The units are about 190mm x 85mm x 80mm (L x W x H). I don't really care about the color temperature control, if that's what you meant, as 2700K-3000K would be good for the living room. I looked around various brands (and still am) and the closest thing I found is the iGuzzini iPro 192mm. I have...

    Where to get custom ceramic glass for halogen light fixture made in Europe?

    I contacted One Day Glass and they said it would cost $65 for the glass piece and $89 for shipping to Switzerland, which is a bit too much. I have yet to find a ~5000 lumen dimmable LED wall fixture that looks decent though...

    Where to get custom ceramic glass for halogen light fixture made in Europe?

    So, I have three R7s halogen light fixtures in the living room with 300W halogen bulbs inside. Unfortunately, one of the protective glass broke and since the light fixture is so old (20+ years) it's impossible to find a replacement. I looked around for websites that produce custom cut glass and...

    5.75 inch LED motorcycle headlight options?

    Hello, I recently bought a 2009 Triumph Street Triple with dual 5.75 inch headlights. Of course, after being spoiled by LED and HID headlights, the H4 halogens aren't really cutting it and I would like to upgrade them to something a little safer. I live in Switzerland and I really don't want to...
