I bought the replacement bulbs from HOEN and got almost the same affect. They match the blue hue that the LED license plate light puts out.

Thanks for the info but tell us more... What's the model number of the bulb? Is it a blue colored halogen or is it a real Xenon? Any external ballast? How much $$$? where did you buy it?
Thanks,
Greg

It's been brought up many times before, these bulbs have nothing to do with the real thing (HID) other than the bluish color and will actually produce less light than the regular halogen bulbs.

4,300K is a color temperature, not the light output.

True, but what problem are we trying to fix... It seems there is currently no "REAL" solution available that doesn't mess with the beam pattern, does not scattered light and is street legal.

Soooooo, at least this will make the bike look a little different, doesn't blind oncoming drivers, puts out at least the same amount of light as the stock setup and is street legal.

Most of my driving is during the day anyway.

And yes, I'm a poser... :rofl:

That's highly questionable, most tests confirm that tinted bulbs produce less light than the untinted ones. Really easy to explain too as the tinting simply cuts off (filters) everything but the blue.

And yes, I'm a poser... :rofl:

That's a tough one too because you (at least me) can spot these fake lights a mile away. They never look like the real thing.

Just my :2cents:, don't mean to criticize.

Hum, sounds like criticism to me. Lets not get on a :soapbox: about safety. Most of us have compromised safety for cool looks in some way. If you notice something different about a V-Rod (or any bike) Thats a good thing. You can bet the person that made the change is proud of it, or they would remove it. Lets not be biased or bust anyones chops over lights.

Nick's bike is one of the best looking V-RODs on this forum. I would love to have half the modes he's made. So much so that I respect his judgment. If he says it looks cool I believe him and am willing to try the same thing (sight unseen).

Again, If someone has a better solution I'm sure everyone will want it but until then you have only a few choices, Stock (yellow, :tmbsdow: ) or cool light blue... :thumb:

So I finally received them and I have to say these lights are great. They are the brightest light I've ever seen on a bike and they have that very cool look. Thanks for the info npicklo.
