Damn buddy return that crap and get this
http://www.theretrofitsource.com/le...moto-xb-led-headlight-bulbs.html#.VSWBQ_Ccj8c

They said they use Cree cobs and comes with two year warranty...this company has great customer service also

Also hide the driver in between the headlights under the windscreen, if you have double bubble it works even better

I was afraid someone might say it
The shape of the heat sink will make it impossible i think to silicone the whole to make sure no air/water gets in.

Not sure if its worth it and if I should go with the regular HID kit.

Ok, thank for your answer

Nah the dust cover should be corrugated so itll stretch out further (depthwise) so you can usually make it just smaller than the size of the heatsink on the bulb and squeeze the bulb through, the heatsink is deeper than the stock bulb so itll keep tension on the dust cover....same way I have my HIDs.

It says that these lights are not recommended for Low Beam use... any idea why?

I believe a slight technicality makes LED headlight retrofits illegal for normal driving lights. These LEDs will produce roughly the same amount of light as a good 6k 35watt HID kit.

gotchya.

well i actually decided to return these LEDs and go with DDM HID kit.
This heatsink will be a pain to install and create more mess in the end for me.
So ill just stick to HID kit that i know will work.

Go with theretrofutsource kit if you didn't already purchase ddm, it has a 5 year warranty and is a very high quality product I love mine. The color temp is more true than other brands as well

i didnt order ddm yet... theretrofutsource are pretty expensive though... ill def think about it and do more research

They are kind of expensive, but you definitely get what you pay for when it comes to HIDs.They're 150 for a H4 Moto kit and imho is totally worth every penny. No flicker, great quality bulbs and the ballast and wires are all good quality as well. If you can save up another 50 you wont regret it

Seems to me the led kit has same or more parts as a hid kit but gives less kelvins(light output). The cooling fan would be the worse part for me sticking out of the cap..

The Morimoto LEDs actually put out the same Lumens as a 35watt HID kit.

Kelvin= Color temperature, 6000k being a slight tinge of blue which is usually the look most go for however 5000k will get you a slight bump in light output

Lumens= Visable light output as observed by humans. The XB kit has two 35watt Cree LED arrays. Those two chips combined produce 3000lumens which is the same as a 35 watt 6000k HID kit.

And more heat.

I refuse to use a bulb that reaquires it's own fan....:shake

As I refuse to use a cheap china HID kit because theyre junk, just like the led posted with a fan. They went cheap on the heatsink and had to put a fan.

The Morimoto XB ones dont use a fan because they use a sufficient heatsink and good quality driver.
