Default www.LuminicsBulbs.com Review (had to make my own!) UPDATED w/ Ultra Violet pics

Thank you Scott for the opportunity to try out your different lines on my bike. Here are more pictures I've taken: (they're really large, so I'll link them instead of posting them)

This is the stock headlight:

Hyper White bulb:

JDM Yellow bulb:

Ultra Violet bulb:

The JDM Yellow bulbs illuminate the road very well, even in adverse conditions. The Hyper White bulbs were about even with the stock bulb in this regard. However, the color of the Hyper Whites were more to my liking than stock or JDM Yellow. The Ultra Violets emulated the HID look better than the Hyper Whites.

Given that I ride more often at night, the JDM Yellow are my pick. But if you want to give your bike an appearance closer to that of HID, then the Ultra Violet bulbs are for you.

Thank you again, Scott, for your generosity.

my single hid projector on low is brighter and puts out more light than my halogen highs and lows.

I hear nothing but good things about Luminics. I'll keep them in mind when I replace my bulbs next season.

Yes, it's very easy to change your bulbs. I found out the hard way, by taking off all my fairings.

1) Take off the wiring harness (should pull right off).
2) Remove the dust cover.
3) Squeeze the metal bracket holding the bulb in, and rotate it down. It will "pop" free and hinge open.
4) The bulb should be loose at that point.
