question about l.e.d lights & requirements

[wence]

I will just have to purchase some leds nd link them to my high beam.
Probably have to rewind the stator then I guess?

Glenn,
All the vision x stuff I have looked at is about $300+
Am I looking at the right ones?
Pretty keen to find the good ones your mate has.

I will ask tonight if I see him. They are not VisionX Solstice, but copies. Case looks identical.

If you retain OEM headlight then your limited on what you can add without rewind. Also have issue of both AC and Dc systems to isolate. Can you run all LEDs, with just one as low beam aimed different for low beam? I have no idea why but I suspect this for some motor vehicle law as roads are used?

Maybe a good solution would be to use the stock low beam for legality and use the high beam wire to power two added LED lights instead of the stock high beam filament.

True, I have it connected to a pair of these lamps:

Plenty of light for woods riding.

Glenn,you are right about the road law part.
Neil, I reckon I would still be pushing it even with low beam and the led lights wouldn't I?

The lights I have draw a fair bit of current. An hour of night riding with them at full intensity can deplete the battery enough that I've had to kickstart the bike. That's with the 2K3 stator. Would be too much for the 2K2 unless you ran only one light. I have my beam pattern mostly overlapping so the illumination area is nearly the same in case one light fails (no problems so far). I doubt there is any point to running your regular filament plus the LEDs together. This would be a waste of energy since you probably would not even see the illumination from the regular filament once the LEDs are turned on.

The better the lights are on your bike, the more riders in front will complain. They will hate riding in their own shadow!

Here is what my neighbor bought. They were from Amazon.com not ebay and $49 each. Sometimes he talks crap. Anyway still half of what VisionX cost with the same emitter.

Thanks mate,
Will have a look and probably purchase a couple to try.
Neil, I know what it is like riding in shadows after riding with mates with dual rectangular hid setups.
I could barely see where I was going and then they come up behind me and suddenly there is daylight except my shadow
