Cyclopes LED replacement bulbs...

[mrpete64]

Replaced my stock lights, on my 2014ES, with a pair of these lights. I do not like to drive at night but had to come across Kentucky, east to west, on my trip to my brother's. They were much better than the stock bulbs. The seemed to light up the sides of the road much better.
I also have a Rigid six inch led bar. This "really" makes a big difference. Both of these lights I would recommend highly.

I've been wondering who our 1st guinea pig was going to be! Glad you like them. Personally, I think the stock lights are quite good but when toggling between the 6" Rigid and the stockers (on low), the LED's are so much brighter that it makes the halogens look yellowed and anemic.

Just curious, what kind of warranty comes with the product?

Thanks God!
That was what I was looking for.
Can you tell me all the information about those LED´s bulbs.
I want to get rid of my 2013 ligths, they are not bad at all, but at night they seem a little bit weak.

Any pics??

Ouch!!! $175 plus s/h but pretty trick system, http://www.cyclopsadventuresports.com/6000-lumen-H7-LED-Headlight-bulb-kit-for-the-Yamaha-Super-Tenere_p_121.html

This looks to be much easier than the HID setup and about the same cost.

+1 for pics. I hope the projector lens works with the diode and gives a good spread of usable light.

 

[mrpete64]

The cost is high due to fact that they had to make the light cups. The cost is still much cheaper than hitting a deer at night!

p.s. These lights with my 6" Ridgid led bar are...wonderful. During the day I use the green cover on my LED bar. You can see this green light a mile away before you can see the bike....or...me!

So who has the longest history using these with the cover? I am concerned about the effectiveness of the little fans and longevity given the closed space. It would be cool (inadvertent bad pun - sorry) to make the overs from finned aluminum to better transfer heat out of the housing.

 

[mrpete64]

I am sure that this company will stand behind their product(s). In the world of the internet it would be "stupid" for them not to do so.

I installed a set 2 months ago. These lights are awesome. The light output is far better than stock. I feel the price is fair for what is included which is bulbs w/cooling fans and replacement cups.

Is it $175 for both bulbs? Their website is terribly clear. Where does the little box mount? Pictures of your install?

 

[mrpete64]

The little box mounts inside the covers. The install is very easy. I think that the covers cost more to make than the led lights. They did a very good job making the larger covers. Since they do not sell a million of them I am sure the cost per unit is fairly high. All in all...the price, in my opinion, is fair. The light is MUCH better than the stock lights.

I ordered a kit yesterday. FYI, there's a discount code on the adv rider web site for 10% off.

I have the Rigid light bar installed, but I cannot use that at night w/o blinding any oncoming drivers. Since I'll now be commuting in the dark each evening, a little extra help w/ lighting that I can use w/ others on the road is important.

Re: Before & after pictures of Cyclops LED Bulb Replacements...

I replaced my OEM H7's tonight with the Cyclops LED bulb kit and I took before and after pictures so I could see the difference and I could share with you all too. Hopefully my pictures post for before and after shots from the same spots. All I did was ride around the neighborhood briefly after the upgrade and I like them a lot so far. I've noticed that they seem to do a better job showering the light directly in front of the bike and off to the sides. However, the camera doesn't seem to pick up the light as well as the factory light...so the pictures are actually a bit unimpressive IMO (the LED's are better in the flesh).

Update 11/24/15: Went for a night ride last night and was truly amazed at how much better these light up the road and ditches over the OEM's. Very pleased!

BEFORE with OEM H7's:

AFTER with Cyclops LED Kit at same spot as above:

Hope this helps! BTW, installation wasn't the most fun thing I've done. More frustrating than it was hard because of my big hands...but still didn't take very long. Someone with smaller hands would have a much easier time.

Pics no worky.

That's a bummer...no idea what I did wrong. They come up for me in the post - I don't get it.

You need to use a public link for dropbox image shares or figure out the direct public link to the image. Dropbox isn't so kind with it. Google Photos is a bit easier to figure that out.

If worse comes to worst, just go to Imgur and you can just drag and drop your photos onto the site.

Thanks for the added info. I found some info for dummies like me and used it. Can you see the pics now? I had to remove the "www" in the URL and replace it with "dl".

They now load BUT it's downloading the full size image so people with slow connections will have to wait a while for them to load. Generally, it's easier to just attach the images to a post instead of trying to deal with the URL links.

It might be the way the camera is reacting to the brighter foreground lighting, but to my eye, especially in the curved road shot, it looks like the OEMs have better reach. Notice the building/house that almost disappears with the LED shot compared to the OEM shot.

The pictures are underwhelming and I do believe you're correct in that the camera (Galaxy S6) is picking up and reacting to the light differently.

In reality, they are much better than the OEM's. The distance/reach is further, the foreground is much more evenly lit, and the side lighting is better. Shame the pictures don't show it.
