silviaks2nr is an unknown quantity at this point
An Incandescent filament emits light nearly 360* from a very specific focal point. Replacement LED "bulbs" certainly do not and you will get poor light distribution which can also include hot spots and shadows. The light is often narrow and not enough is thrown down the road, it's all kind of an even wash, which leads you to focus on the area right in front of you. This is horrible for motorcycles where safety is a great concern. My advice is do not even try. The only good option for LED is a sealed beam replacement and even then some halogen replacements will outperform, or an HID projector retrofitted housing with oem components certainly will.
