| | Posted : 28 Apr 2017 - 11:32 Post title : Re: LED Head Light 2012 T-Bird 1600 (Re: AZCactus) | | | I agree, two different brands. But from what I had these are night and day.  And for the price I am happy with them. If these fail I would consider the Jw Its just right now $250 is not in my budget and if people are looking for a lower expense upgrade these aren't a bad option.
With that being said the pictures aren't comparable. Your garage is bigger and your bike seems further away from the doors. The real test like Dave said would be out on the open road. I actually like the way the Sunpie cuts off on the high end. More defined projector. Not sure if that's your High beam or low beam that is on? Again I'm not trying to argue which light is better but $50 or $250 I'm happy with my purchase.

The JWS has one of the most advanced "beam patterns" for superior visibility (price difference). ...just posting a comparison between low and high end lights. Anyway if the Sunpie works for you, good.
btw...I like your supersize pic for comparison. Lol

Safe Riding.

I'll post when they arrive and after I've fitted them of course!
PS the main reason was not to improve the headlights, but to reduce the strain on my battery as the lights are always on (thanks EU.)

But he said they are miles and away better than the HID bulbs he had in his Tbird. May not have the projection that some of these full LED light replacements, I'm thinking of giving them a go for my Storm (2x!!!). For $45 a piece, seems I can't really go wrong!!!
