Remember, I am also running Clearwater Erica auxiliary lights and the infrequent "complaints" I get from other drivers is from those lights and not the Cyclops replacement headlamps. Did an early morning ride this morning and was reminded how much nicer it is to ride with enough light to see far enough ahead when at speed.
Thanks for that feedback.
While the "... not amazingly so" bit is tempering my enthusiasm a bit, the better colour temperature match with the auxiliary lights is still a strong reason for my leaning toward changing over.
Also, longevity of the bulbs is another concern, although I don't recall seeing any testimonials suggesting that the LEDs won't burn out. just theory that they should last much longer. Well I have been using Sylvania Silverstar [Ultras] in the hopes of getting whiter and brighter lights but at about $20 each or more and me going through at least 2 or more per year (low beam only), it seems like I am throwing money down the drawing while not being fully satisfied.
