Gottagetone Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 I was about to pull the trigger on a HID kit from DDM when I came across the full 7" LED replacement lights. Truck Lite offers the replacement and I wanted to see if anyone has installed one in the stock housing? Check out the light here: http://www.truck-lite.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&productId=92025 No halo ring or any other bunk stuff to make it look goofy...just a cool...bright ...replacement. I'd like to utilize the stock mount with the chrome ring. If it mounts up as a direct replacement it should be a simple plug and play set up.
docc Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 The guys from Revival Cycles are using these. Looks to be the real deal. Nicely made, kind of pricey and, reportedly, very bright.
Gottagetone Posted October 22, 2013 Author Posted October 22, 2013 Ive seen the one from Revival and it looks real cool. They are local to me and I would love to buy from them but $300 is kinda pricey. Ive seen the Truck Lite brand online for about $190...there are a couple others out there but none look as good. I think I will compare the specs of the two and to see if it will work if no one else responds. Revival does carry a set of 3-led slimline turn signals that I am pretty hot on.
Gottagetone Posted October 22, 2013 Author Posted October 22, 2013 I just pulled the stock headlight and this is now a mute point. The replacement is a good bit smaller than stock so it will not fit in the current housing. Well, it will fit but it would fall out or just bounce around. Looks like the DDM kit is going to have to work...any feedback on their kit is appreciated. I have the car kits installed and they work well.
moto fugazzi Posted October 24, 2013 Posted October 24, 2013 I bought the Trucklite, and had to use the headlight shell from an old Yamaha that I had. The review is here: http://www.v11lemans.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=17838&hl=trucklite Ken
Gottagetone Posted October 25, 2013 Author Posted October 25, 2013 Nice write up and I like how bright the light is. Im not sure how another bucket would look on my bike. My hope was to use the stock one and I may be able to modify it somehow.
