As far as I'm concerned, this is very nice! Hopefully your setup is going to be trouble free in the long run, with all the extra bits.

We'll see! I have confidence in the Philips packs...reliable brand there. The lasfit H7, not so much, but at 20 for a set, easy come, easy go.I also tested Auxito, and the results were equally as good.

In the big schema of things, this is not really about expense, otherwise we would all ride something a lot less complicated It is about satisfying the itch, need to tinker with the bike, make it yours...

Bit of good news. The LED mod worked my entire ride to work this morning. The Philips pack for lowbeam was cool to the touch, with just a hint of warm. Gets enough airflow there to keep cool

Welp, mixed feelings on the results. Night ride last night with the Mrs. The high beam is fairly decent, but the low beam just doesn't get enough light on the road. The spread and pattern is good, cutoff good, but actual light or lumens downrage is unacceptable. I'm going to look at doing a lowbeam HID kit instead. Normally I would never do HID in a halogen reflector, but the cutoff is very sharp, so I'm going to give it a try.

Cheap amazon gunea pig HID kit on the way. Used the same brand before ****ing around with projectors in my xterra. Cheap, but bright enough for 40 bucks to determine if a 200 dollar morimoto kit is worth it.

All of this effort because BMW didn’t include an LED light on a twenty thousand $ motorcycle…

Yep. Kills me, it would've added...idk...economy of scale...40 or 80 bucks per bike probably? They already put them in as DRL. My last bike I bought an AWESOME headlight for 100 bucks from TRS. Perfect light. Oh well.
