Just to let you know, these bulbs are not very good!! Tried them on the way home this morning and they were c#!p!! So it's back to the drawing board  ;D
The indicators and brake light are excellent tho'.
Cheers,
Don.

Sorry to hear that those LEDs didn't bring you the results you were hoping for Don.
BUT!
Thank you for sharing your experiences with us and paving the way for our future LED conversions! Kudos to you!

I still think these would fit the bill:  http://www.aliexpress.com/item/-/1986610559.html (http://www.aliexpress.com/item/-/1986610559.html) (and they are still ON SALE for about 16 hours)
If it's true what they say and the bulb utilises two Cree XML2 LED emitters, then this is the solution! 2400 lumen is a LOT of light! About the light output of a 200W incandescent bulb!

Those are what I used in my projection housings. They work fine for me but I don't really don't ride much after dark.

I've ordered a couple of these

If they aren't any good I will have to give 'nushipwright's' suggestion a go!!
Cheers,
Don.
