High beam:
Low beam:
i bought these because another X-100 owner had tried them and was satisfied with his purchase. Subsequently I discovered that the. manufacturer of these bulbs sells several different intensities of the same bulb. Of course they cost more but I think it might be worth an extra $30 per pair to have 20% more light . Not trying to take anything away from the products I bought, as they are a substantial improvement over the stock H-1 and H-3b bulbs. But once you get used to having better headlights, there's a tendency to want even more.
I should add that eve though the LED light was much brighter, I did need to raise the headlight unit to get the illuminated distance to my satisfaction ( no, my ride height is not the issue , I'm within specs.)
the low beam LED bulb is a very tight fit to get the stock securing clip over it and in its groove. But doable. Someone recently posted a method of installing the LED bulb which is supposed to be a lot easier, but I've lost track of the post, darn it !
