Thanks rbentnail. For some reason the Amazon page says these won't fit my 2007. Is that just their glitch? I have the bike in their virtual garage to check fitment.
NOT a glitch. The link is for description of "F2" and "Yellow Box" only. You have to get the correct mount style. That's the 9003, 9007, 9004, 9005, etc. number. You need to get H4/9003 designation.
How does the lumen output compare to the previous LED's you were using? Beam pattern etc.
The LEDs are much brighter than the incandescent bulbs (while consuming a fraction of the wattage). The standard 9003/H4 bulbs are rated at around 910 lumens each on low beam. I am not sure how accurate the LED bulb's claimed 4500 lumen output is, but they are obviously brighter - no question about it. The beam pattern is completely different from the stock bulbs. The LEDs output is wider and more evenly distributed on the road. I really like that because the sides of the road are also better lit up, which helps me in noticing critters about to cross the road right on front of me (coyotes, deer, cats, dogs, etc.). Another difference is that because of the more scattered, whiter light pattern street signs become very noticeable and reflect the light from much farther away. Finally, I also like that so far I have not had any cars flash their brights back at me because my lights were blinding them. (That used to be a common occurrence with my 2003 running stock bulbs when I had my bike loaded with stuff and/or I was riding with a pillion). The LED bulbs are more noticeable by other drivers, but I guess not in a blinding way (again, due to the less focused pattern).
