    Wow nice quick vid. I've been trying to find and find lights for my 05 VTX 1300R. I have some new additional lights. But currently just running an aftermarket LED headlight. This could be a nice option to look in to!

    Is the lens on your bike 5.75” or 7”? I ordered one of these and the adapter ring for my VTX1300c and it showed the 7” but when I got it, it’s way too big for the chrome housing.

      In this video I installed an LED but the same procedures work for a HID therefore the name of the video is what it is. Hope this clarifies any confusion. Thanks for watching.

    From what I've seen with the Daymaker, the light pattern isn't all that great. And once you install it, you have to adjust the headlight down a bit so you don't blind oncoming traffic (yes, there is an adjustment in the VTX housing) I went another route and di my research to find an LED H4 bulb that actually works better, for alot less than the Daymaker. I tried three different bulbs before I found an LED bulb that throws a nice sharp cutoff line on low beam (doesn't blind people) and has a great light pattern on high beam. And it's much easier to install (just swap the bulb and plug it in) So for about a third of the price, you can get an LED bulb that works perfect in our VTX reflector housing!

      Would you mind giving up the info of the replacement light bulb you found if you dont mind ? Would be great for people trying to do the same thing, or make a video and post it up so the rest of us can make use of this awsome information you can share with us fellow VTX BROTHERS !!

      I've not had a problem with anyone flashing me the brights and the pattern covers the road in such a way that visibility is greatly improved. It sounds like you may have another way of achieving similar results. If you can post a link for the VTX people. Thanks for watching.

      I have found that the light is more of a flood light than a spot but if it needs to be adjusted a few flat washers will do the trick. hope this helps, Thanks for watching.

    • @funbro1
      @funbro1  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I have found that this light is more of a flood light than a spot light and i haven't had any issue with the light bouncing around. It basically lights up everything. I haven't had anyone flash me so I have to believe that it is not too bright to oncoming traffic but if it were I would just add a few washers to aim the headlight in a different direction. Hope this helps, Thanks for watching.
