Avoid This Product - Incandescent Bulbs

A few months ago I installed a low beam on a KLR650 and it seemed to work - it emitted light. I rarely drive at night, but whenever I did I couldn't see the road in the low beams and had to turn on the high beams to see the road at all. Whenever I hit a car they would flash me high beam like I was turning the headlights on high beam even though I didn't. I thought maybe I turned the lightbulb upside down, took it apart, and that's not possible on my bike. When I pulled it out, I saw that the bulb's glass was bent at least 15 degrees below level - it should be perfectly flat. The headlight beam is a mirror image, so 15% low lamp output gives 15% high light output. Paid 3x for an Autozone lamp and everything works perfectly. I took a risk and it didn't work. Given the savings I would make a similar choice again - you win some you lose but I wouldn't try this seller or item again. I hope my case gets isolated and good luck to those who follow me.

Pros
  • Stylish and Modern Design
Cons
  • Obsolete Model
