    So I was the guinea pig and the second light goes then to Barry.
    It's really bright :cool:

    Worth it? Really gives decent lighting?
    I've looked and worried things actually give anything decent for the money

    The LED we bought is not cheap but high quality.
    The light output is in my opinion worth the investment.
    We had concern that the cooler strips would get too hot and burn the wire harness.
    This is not the case. The real heat spot is just at the strip exit from housing.
    I opened the strip to loops and put them cross over in each other which keeps the cables away from the hot spot.

    After a 100km run I checked again immediately on arrival and found the strip touchable hand warm.

    Of course I dont know whether cheaper products have same conditions.

    One thing I find very annoying and this is the left electrical hand control.
    Completely untypical they have placed the horn switch in the center and the turn signal down while on all other bikes i owned it was vice versa.
    I never find the horn when needed and must look all time to switch turn signals. After getting on my GS i am confused once again.

    I have ordered a YBR250 left control block and will (if necessary) re wire it. In case the quality is satisfying I consider to replace right too to keep same design.

    I want to upgrade my bikes bulbs to these but am worried about wattage. These are 42W and stock bulbs on my bike are 35W.
    Do you think installing 2x42W instead 2x35W will be a problem?

    A LED LIGHT with 45 W output is about 22 W current draw.
