Topic: LED Headlight conversion

Yes Cibie definitely makes a quality product and the price while higher than the cheap units is a great value for what you get.

I never had better headlights than the standard quartz iodine Cibié on my Peugeot 504.

I hate mine. Its bright and all, but it take away from the nostalgia.

Many here take brightness for quality. Best option for you would be the Philips X-treme Vision Moto 55/60 Watts H4. Only big brands combined like Philips and Osram have the capacity for real research. This lamp was especially designed for motorcyclists in demanding markets like Germany. It has a yellowish appearance which makes you stand out (without annoying oncoming traffic!) but nevertheless gives an amazing flood of white light on the road. Brilliant design which won awards.

Delta,
That Phillips X-treme Vision Moto sounds excellent,wonder if it's avail. here in the U.S. ?

I've seen that bulb at cycle gear I think. At the check out counter.

This is a complete headlamp assembly w/ lens? or only the bulb ?

It's just a powerful bulb if it's the same thing I saw.

Anyone know if the bucket that Revival sells will fit the trucklite headlight and be flush? Was looking at upgrading the bucket to metal since it seems the fiberglass one is prone to overload from the weight of the trucklite.

Anyone do an LED upgrade with a smaller housing?  As in a shallow 5 1/4" light such as the below?

I really want to downsize the headlight in my CB750 build, and would prefer to go with LED. No idea where I'm going to cram the wiring though.
