New LED headlight and bucket
Just got this Tuesday night off internet as a led headlight assembly and the headlight shell and ring from another supplier

It took about 2 minutes to pull the stock headlight and wiring and 10 minutes to assemble the new components, which fit together perfectly.

It appears to be about 2x brighter than stock.

Will take it out tonight for a distance comparison.

The upper halo glows white as a running light and switches to flashing yellow when directional are activated

Very nice.
We'll be waiting for your report on how it works.

RE: New LED headlight and bucket
Did you use the stock bucket?
Stock ring?
What wiring is required for the LED rim to function with turns?
Wattage lo?
Wattage hi?

I had to order new bucket that came with a ring. It is listed on amazon as item also purchased when you select this light
I had to trim about 1/2 inch off rear of bucket to clear the ignition switch
The mounting holes lined up perfectly and the new metal satin finish bucket is much nicer than the plastic stock bucket.
To use the light ring as a running light and turn signal they supply the additional wiring leads
It is much brighter and wider beam than stock
Will check wattages when I get home later today
