Premium Member phicurious86 Posted February 9, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted February 9, 2016 Those fanless LEDs do look pretty nice. Good find Eraser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eraser8 Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 Thank you Gregjet for all info. Currently, mine is installed without forwarding the headlamp assembly, but it could be interesting for other to do that instead of buffing the heatsink! Thanks Phicurious. I've search a lot before finding this... But I think it's the most interesting LED bulb on the market right now. It' more expensive than other older style but, you got nothing for nothing Hope this could help someone else! I'm really impatient to get out my bike and try it on the road, but there is a lot of snow outdoor.... The waiting time is really boring!!!

I'm finding them for ~100 USD a pair. Really considering going this route on my street triple, but I need to measure inside the headlight cases to see if the longer bulbs will fit.

gregjet Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 A couple in a street triple would just about perfect. That's how lights should be. Interesting that the bike that used to once have amongst the worst lights on a motorcycle , now has amongst the best. A looooooong time ago. Joseph Lucas the man who invented darkness...

I searched on ebay and wasn't sure which one was the right one, don't want to end up paying for a fake or older version... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwpowere36m3 Posted February 10, 2016 Share Posted February 10, 2016 I'd be willing to go half with someone else, as well... I just don't see a "legitimate" kit... just the typical eBay no-name LED or HID kits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eraser8 Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Hi guys, I bought mine here: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/111879633686?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=410848051305&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT They are the same than AStar for less money. In fact, they seems to be all the same, with just rebrand name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan cooled and not seeing the luxeon LEDs. True. The OP was looking into a different light. OPT7 seems like a decent brand with good quality. I installed an LED light kit from them previously and it turned out very nice. This bulb setup does look similar to the Cyclops, has slightly less lumens but longer life span supposedly. I just got it in so I'll try to post some pics after installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member biggaudi Posted March 7, 2016 Premium Member Share Posted March 7, 2016 @biggaudi How do you like the OPT7? So I think it is pretty nice! As someone had mentioned prior, the design is similar to the Cyclops. The product looks and feels like good quality. Installation is simple, plug and play. Definitely gives off more light. It is bright but also has more of a flood effect IMO. Here are some pictures. Sorry for the poor quality of my phone's camera. Stock light: low then high beam OPT 7: LOW then high. Notice how much more of the garage is illuminated. Some more pics The fan unit on the light turns on immediately though you can't hear it while the bike is running (at least not with an aftermarket exhaust). I feel it was money well spent and gives noticeable more visibility at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjwrnglr Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Made them. The top ones are just a strip of aluminium. The bottom was more complicated. It is a bent piece of plate aluminium with an extra ledge piece to emulate the original mount. Here is the mount during construction: Here is the mounted headlight during fitting: What's the thickness of that plate? Was it easy to bend? I need to make one to raise my low beam to a decent position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregjet Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Plate is 5mm for the bottom and a piece of 10mm for the block. Easy to bend if you have a VERY strong vice and a rock hammer and a touch of the vicious finesse. Go forth and modify my son...go forth and modify...

12ival Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 @biggaudi do you have a pic of it in the street? Wanna see what the coverage on the road looks like. And did you have to adjust the height? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
