Be cautious of LED headlight bulbs. There are very few that are either a) legal (I doubt that's much of a deterrent) or b) actually bright enough to be used at night.

If you're spending real money (probably a couple hundred realistically) you should be fine. But all the <$100 LED's are probably going to be crap.

The ones I'm looking at are around 150-200. They are 5000k in brightness

5000K is good but it is actually the color, not the brightness. At that cost you're probably looking at a nice setup, probably with heat sinks. I just often see people grab $30-50 LED's online (eBay mostly) and they look nice in the headlight but don't really project any light. On a bike particularly that's scary so I thought I'd share my worry. I personally plan on eventually going HID in a projector if I can't figure out how to make it not look cheesy

I appreciated you looking out. I would never go fashion over function, not my style.

Got a couple of packages in the mail today.



Polished stainless steel bolt kit.

go to his Ebay store he has a list of colors he provides. The majority of the colors are in 18 gauge. He was offering 5' lengths but I asked him for 10' because I make mistakes.

This was my order for $240 (the connectors were more than half the cost)
Dear brussellex,

I went to a couple of different websites and just the connectors were more than what he charges and I had not even added crimpers or shipping yet. He was awesome to work with and very fast shipping. I will use him again.

Great to see you getting your KZ back up and running. Can't wait to see how it all turns out!
