I purchased a pair of these last week. They arrived today. Wow how cool. Easy to install and bright. Plus low draws 2.5A and hi only 4.5A. Here are some instaled pictures and a Low output and hi output in a dark room.

Cheaper on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002TDLW8A/ref ... B002TDLW8A but still too expensive for this cheapskate :mrgreen:

Is that permanently installed the way you have it or is it just a temporary mounting sticking out like that?

bwolfie · Jan 5, 2012

That's permanent. The harley guys have rings that cover it. I kind of like it this way. The bulb is heavily constructed, Military grade stuff. Here are a few photos of the bulb and a video of punishment.

Very cool guys! Gotta watch the folks on Amazon, they are listing the full price of a set and then giving it a heavy discount but only selling one bulb! I know I will eventually have LED bulbs all the way around on my bike. The only question I have is what to do with all the extra electrical power!?! How many watts do I need for heated long johns?

At 4.5 amps full on, plus my pazon and LED turn lights, I'll have no problem at idlle with everything burning.

I believe someone said the Pazon will also be around 4 amps.

I can't recall what a halogen headlight is.

bwolfie · Feb 2, 2012

The low beam is 2.5 amps, 4 for the pazon and maybe 2 for everything else. I'm likeing those numbers. I'll throw an ammmeter on it once I get it running and see for sure.

Sweet. I think my headlight presently has an H4 bulb; can I go LED with that too?

bwolfie · Feb 2, 2012

the trucklite is an entire assembly, see pictures above.

xbacksideslider · Feb 2, 2012

Yes, I see that, just asking if I can get the same thing in an H4 bulb.

bwolfie · Feb 2, 2012

None that I know of.

about 5 amps (60 watts/12 volts) standard H4 bulbs are 55/60 lo/hi beam

So the led headlight is roughly the same draw on high as the typical h4 or the halogen prefocus bulbs which Norbsa sells.

Is the led a lot brighter than a 55 or 60 watt h4?
