Best aftermarket headlight bulbs for a gen 2 out there?

I had the same issue. Couldn't really ride safely at night.

I installed the BeamTech LED bulbs. Bought off of Amazon (Amazon calls them fog light bulbs). They really light up the road now. Really easy to install, but you have to install the dust seal on the bulb first, and then put the bulb in the bike. Not bad! The ones I have had no fans, so no worries about fans burning out.

Which model did you get? They've got to be decent quality for the price.

These look like the ones I got, and for about the same price. The mounting ring will twist and come off so that you can take it off of the bulb. Then, put the dust cover on the bulb and then re-install the mounting ring and install the bulbs. There is a top and bottom to the bulbs. If you stretch the dust cover over the heat sink and hold the bulb that the cover / sink firmly, you can put the bulb back in easily and then just click the cover in place.

OK... that says that don't fit my SIL's Nissan Rogue... but they do fit the Gen II FZ1. I bought these after one of the FZ1OA guys absolutely swore by them. I got some, and they have worked great. I also put them in my 2010 Accord. The difference is amazing! So... some in the 2010 Ridgeline as well. In the Ridgeline they are a lot better than stock, but not as good as the FZ1 and Accord I think the Ridgeline got a set that DID NOT say "fog lights". They didn't impress as much, but they are still way better than stock

Awesome, thanks a lot. I'll look into them a little further before I pull the trigger.

Might need to get a set for my car and Kawasaki Versys if they're as good as advertised!
