Hello Josh; Well what a bloody good idea having improved lighting; those pods work very well. Very good on how to install and the night ride to demonstrate the effectiveness of the lights was a great idea. Very good Production on this video! David....Adelaide....Triumph Scrambler 1299X..& 900...
I put an LED in the headlight of my 690 and wound up going back, it was crap compared to even the stocker. If you spend a few more bucks on a higher-quality halogen you'll get some decent results, and they won't burn out as often as they seem to handle the vibrations better. It won't be as good as those pods, obviously. I have seen people point one pod up and one down to account for the bob on long suspension travel bikes as well, but never did try that myself.
For riding techie trails and getting rid of that "jumping in the dark" not seeing the landing I use a small 1000 lumen Cleanskin light on my peak or atop the lid. Great review!
that stock headlight is a scam; how did it pass ADR? Mid 80's Honda XR's had a better light and they were terrible; I like where you mounted them on the barkbusters; Up high and out of the way; A bit further apart would give a better spread of light but unless you cut the plastic down a bit, not gonna happen...I know where I'll be mounting my lights; Cheers Josh.
Yeah I think the stock halogen is marginally better than that cheapshit LED thing I put in there. And yeah, pretty cool spot to mount them I thought. Could easily angle them outwards a little more to get more peripherals. Cheers good sir 🍻🍻
@@MVDBR Not a fan of the whole LED thing...they can't easily be changed out when they do fail; And they fail more often than people who use them will ever admit; If it can't be fixed, me no like; Not so much about peripherals as much as increasing spread of light over distance; Starting wider gives more light up to where the point of light meets; In saying that, we don't get many options on motorcycles...especially on roosters!
@@markhills3922 those H4 LED replacement bulbs are just as easy to change out as the halogens, but yeah I know what you mean - the LED unit on the T7 for example was not serviceable, break that and it's 1200 rocks for a replacement from Yamaha. Nah yeah nah 🥴
@@MVDBR 1200 Shekels for a light replacement? ouch; who are they trying to kid? A good 'blue' H4 is almost as bright as what the LED's put out; I like the T7 'world raid' but $25k and the price of parts is ridiculous for a bike that needs suspension work and decent crash/damage protection after buying it; Not my job Gangadin

Ah but what fun it was 😅🍻 cheers sir Lancelot
Id say the stock globe is switching in reversed. High is low and low is high
Could well be, that LED bulb I have is a cheap shit piece of crap.
Nice review mate.
I might grab a set for my 890.
Anything that helps with avoiding roos at night time is the go.
Cheers for sharing 🍻🍻
Cheers mate hope they serve you well 🍻

Cheers Matt yeah I've put the stock halogen back in as well, fuck that POS LED 💩
Wow I've never seen factory lights so bad. Good little lights Josh thanks for sharing.
That aftermarket LED globe was a dud I suspect mate 😬 cheers mate
@MVDBR switched backwards man.
Dull on high, bright on low.

Aha, good tip! Cheers 🍻
They look like a 100% improvement. Yowie sighting incoming!
Cheers bloke hope you're kicking ass and taking names brother 🍻👊
@@MVDBR Getting there fella. 🍻👊
Looks like your stock headlights are wired backwards because your high beams actually get dimmer.
Could well be, that LED bulb I have is a cheap shit piece of crap.
Hey josh how's it going, how's family, can you see in to the future with these lights. 👋🤠👍
Yeah looking pretty grim mate 😁
