Hi, Bill

You asked, "What are you using for headlights?"

I think we discussed this before but I am still using halogen because I haven't seen an LED replacement that will not interfere with the headlight cluster dust cover (and I am not running without the dust cover). Except maybe this one:

LasFit LCair Series

If that link doesn't work copy/paste this: https://www.lasfit.com/products/9005-led-headlight-bulbs-lcair-series

I don't have to tell you they ain't cheap. But I am. I would spend the money at some point but I would want to be sure they would fit and also not negatively affect the cluster.

But that is not my only concern. All this watts/lumens stuff is Greek to me. The Lasfit product I mentioned says it's 70 watts. Is that actually 70 watts or is that the LED equivalent of a 70 watt halogen bulb? How hot are these going to be?
