I have tried many different LED headlight bulbs over the years.  They are great for reducing electricity use however the brightness generally leaves something to be desired.  I have a bulb on my KH400 bought years ago that works pretty well.  I don't remember the brand and the bulb doesn't have a label. All of the other bulbs are marginal.

E-bay currently sells Auxito brand which looks pretty good.  I'm wondering if anyone here has tried them and can post their thoughts?  I like the most compact designs since the headlight shells on our bikes are small.  Here are some pics from E-bay.  The bulbs generally cost around $15-$20 apiece.

Yes, I just bought some, not those exact ones but they are Auxito.  They are extremely bright and I am very happy with them.  I put them on right after the gap so anyone who saw the bike there, they were not in yet.

I am in love with the current ones I got from my sister's boyfriend ( forget which one but they are the generic chinese ones). He didn't have a use for them in his Honda Civic and I threw them into my bike and it fit with a little of manipulation. SUPER BRIGHT and wayyyyy safer for my headlight

I bought the Auxito bulbs and installed them in the H1.  Preliminary result - super bright light - this is way brighter than any other LED headlight bulb I've tried.  I'll do some riding and report back later.

Ok here's the photo with my dog wanting to participate.  Note it's daytime, in the shade of the carport.

Thanks for the info. Mike.  I will probably pick up a couple.

By the way, what is the seat heat on your dog?   It looks like it is as big as any of your triples.

;D

Russ,

Barney is almost a year old and his seat height is 33 inches.  Kinda high but he's narrow.  He weighs around 110 lbs.

I just bought one for some testing. I got the first one pictured off amazon Canada for $30 CAD.

It draws 1.2A at roughly 12V, meaning its within reason of the 15W rating.

Am considering tearing it apart to see if there is any thermal paste under the LED's.
