I also bought mine almost 2 years ago, the quality may have changed by now.... -----Original Message----- Date: Wednesday, August 25, 2010 9:05:03 am To: "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" <[email protected]> From: "Anthony" <[email protected]> Subject: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: LED Turn Signals
The main issue with LED's is the light is focused. One you get off axis the brightness fades very very quick. Here is one of the reviews from cycle gear: "Nice lights, well made, look good, but if you are not looking in the focused beam of light they are not so bright. Almost as bright as stock, if you're in the beam pattern, otherwise, hard to see in daylight." On Aug 24, 11:04 pm, Kyle Munz <[email protected]> wrote: > I'll look for those tomorrow.
