Okay! I was up and did my first "Black Friday" sale hunt today. The Cycle Gear store was open early today. I called, they were on sale and I had my friend Adrian put two H4 types aside for me should there be a rush on them.
They look really easy to install and there is a ring with the alignment tabs that twists off so that you can get the retainer clip in and then install the lamp assembly. This looks like a really easy "Plug n Play"
The little rectangle shaped power supply is very small about 2-1/2 inches x 2 inches which will make it very easy to hide away. It also has two tabs on it if you have a spot to screw it to. It comes with a large piece of double sided mounting tape. It is much smaller than those ballast supplies for HID lamps
So far the kit looks very promising and hopefully I might get a shot at installing it tomorrow.
I will try to show before and after light pattern along with my opinion on the difference in output as well as how it works with my OEM reflector.
The color is listed as 5000k which should put out light in the spectrum that is excellant.
I'm attaching some pictures and a PDF of the instruction sheet.
The hi and low beam has two Cree LEDs on each side of the assembly, emulating the hi and lo beam filament positions in a halogen envelope.
This could very well be a great upgrade without going into more labor intensive headlamp mods as well as more expensive components. I got these for $59.99 USD while on sale. If they're not on sale now CG seems to have stuff like this on sale every other month.
