Installing headlamp bulbs

[Grumpy Goat]

My bad - I meant the trim pieces, when I said "panels" before...:-)

Also, re the blown H7 bulbs - I had one go relatively early on (when I had [other than Cyclops] LED in hi beam and H7 in low beam) but no issues with any of the LED bulbs. I have to think that the non-filament design of the LED bulbs will mean much longer life.

I would certainly hope so. I would hope that its an "install and forget" deal, and that once installed there should not be any failures for the typical life of the bike. But I am an engineer and am skeptical. Besides, while there are claims regarding lifespan there is no actual real-world failure data that I have come across from these various manufacturers (or better yet by end users), and we know they are not created equal anyway.
