[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 141381, member: 21"] About the only thing HID has going for it is cost. You can reuse the bikes existing headlight and you just replace the bulb. Since you pretty much have to do a dc conversion no mater what so that cost is basically the same. My current HID was about $25. Maybe a little more heat with HID, but not much. A lot less than a old school hot filament. Only recently have LED's exceeded HID efficiency. The HID that I have in my bike is about 80 lumens per watt and while the best LEDs are 100 lumens per watt, the ones you will be getting are more like 80. My headlight has a nice "DOT" indication. Now placing a HID in there kind of invalidates that, but in sure that it has an edge compared to a 100% non DOT LED if cops get involved. Don't get me wrong I like LED's. I plan on adding a some to my bike. Wish I could afford that light CDA. It's a little out of my price range. :lol: [/QUOTE]
