Re: SF Headlights
they all kind of suck for out put...I think there is only one that is DOT approved (dont know which one though)...if you can find out which one is DOT approved that will probably be your best bet...and go with that one...

Re: SF Headlights
anyone else know bout the mounting brackets and how they compare to the acerbis mounting brackets?? I know the acerbis ones have rubber straps as well, I dont believe these ones do?? so anyone know if they are as good as the acerbis ones?

I think you have an option to get the straps or the other mounting hardware. The light output is ok, not the best for night riding but decent. Def. not as bright as your stock headlight. Mounting is pretty simple if you ask me

Re: SF Headlights
they all suck for output. Do not try and put any after bulbs or you will melt the lens except for the cyclopes.
There is the Demon Headlight which is a copy of the Acerbis Diamond but the output is the same as the diamond also.

Re: SF Headlights
I was told that you could put 50W bulbs in the Blitz without it melting. I'm pretty sure I remember some guy posting that he had put 80W ones it, but he had figured out some way to vent the back so the heat could escape...

Re: SF Headlights
my aftermarket bulbs (same part number as what i pulled out) seem to be holding up pretty well. i guess i'll pay more attention to it whether it warms up or not. i put a narrower (i think) spot light in my high beam of my diamond and it still sucks ***. do cops seriously check if stuff is DOT approved? very ghey...
