    I can find Phillips Xtreme Vision or Crystal Vision but not Xtra Vision and they are only 60/55w

        I bought THESE on ebay for $17. Put one in yesterday but didn't get to ride much after dark. Just to the gas station and back. Seems a little better. We'll see.

            Just purchased one of these. http://www.levineautoparts.com/truck...dlamp-led.html
            Mounted in my Windjammer and the amount of light is incredible.

              That looks like a great light, but the price is a little out of my range at this time... $176 ON SALE!

                I asked the same question

                about HID vs other headlights some time back.

                I went with the Cibie round headlight conversion as I have a Special that Crazy Steve recommended over the others.

                I also got a 100/90 lamp and a ceramic plug although if it is to hot I can dial it back with one of the lights mentioned back up the thread.

                That LED lamp is pricey but it would probably never need replacement, run cooler and always give consistent output.

                All of my bikes are projects, maybe one day I'll have them running.

                  These are great for low power consumption:

                  "Designed At:
                  • 12.8v, 1.80a (low beam), 3.60 amps (high beam)"

                  If they are indeed durable and light output is as good as you say, they are worth the money - as long as you don't have to butcher they mounting to make them work.

                        If you have the halogen reflector module that bulb will fit Nate.

                            I am talking about the LED Trucklite that they are now talking about.

                                Light fits in the standard 6024 bucket. Plug it in and attach the headlight ring on the Windjammer. It projects a wall of light and even stretches out to the shoulders of the roadway. The headlight kinda looks like a fish eye on the bike when it is off. It's been a while since I posted a pic but I'll try to post something this week.
