    Hi. I have an 07 Hymotion Gen II. Im in Connecticut.

    And its time for new Philips bulbs from Retrofit source for me - thanks for the great thread on that!

    But while I was at it, weak as they are (and blind as I am) i was also thinking of the idea of putting one of each of these in place of (or in front of) my foglites. (yes, one of each on each side actually!)
    Any thoughts??

    LED lights provide ZERO light projection....strictly for aesthetics....for my $$$, I went with 6000k HID kit in my fogs to match my 6000k low beams....beautiful look and great light projection!

    I'd say given the cost, get HIDs but only if you have a projector lens. Otherwise, you're scattering light everywhere and blinding drivers.

    I can't speak specifically to those particular LED lights, but I got the Kuryakyn LED headlight on my motorcycle, and it's worlds better than what the halogen reflector provided.

    Mans gotta see what a mans gotta see!
    ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT! :D

    I did however, take some pains to tilt them a tad downward, and a little scrim of metal works great!

    Conversion kit? I already have factory HID lights. Do these kits replace the factory ballasts and lamps?
