But... seems to be these units only provides one beam (no Hi/Lo differentiation).

I keep meaning to post that I have installed the CSC LED headlamp and it seems to be a LOT brighter than the original. I do have photos - I just need to get them loaded so I can post them here
 I bought the newer 2015.5 reflector headlamp housing when I did the conversion - installation was smoothly done, and I am hoping the added brightness helps make me more visible to cars....had a close call once before (even with my aux LEDs on) where someone from a side street nearly turned into me :( apparently they didn't check or didn't see me coming...that really got the heartrate going, thats for sure. luckily I saw them and was suspicious of their intent and swerved + added throttle but it's made me even more nervous on the bike. Will post photos as soon as I can.

Photos
The new setup is a LOT brighter than the old...I should have taken a photo of the garage door with the light on it - that made it much more obvious than taking a photo facing the bike...  I had installed a higher wattage halogen in the original headlamp and you can see that resulted in bubbling of the reflector (I did not cut a hole in the back of the headlamp housing when I installed the brighter bulb)  Here are the 2 headlamp housings side by side and the new LED lightbulb  Installation went easily, following instructions by Detours combined with shared higher in this thread |

And lest you think it is just Chinese bikes that suffer this affliction, I recently added a 2015 Versys 650 to the stable and it suffers the same problem, despite the high and low beams being separate assemblies. In fact, the damn high beam indicator on the dash is brighter than the high beam bulb itself, which appears to literally do nothing to increase light output when turned on. And no, it isn't burned out. Going to add some of the Genssi Elite H7 LED bulbs that Detours found to it as I ride at night a lot, especially in the summer. |
