I was finally able to get out at night on what’s become the world’s most enhanced 2016 Moto Guzzi Eldorado. Love this bike by the way.

Now all forward lighting is LedPerf LED replacement bulbs. In a word: PERFECT

Seriously love the improvements.

Low beam:





Low beam w/driving lights:






High beam w/driving lights:





Yea, I know the phone camera doesn’t do them enough justice. In practice, on the road, they’re fantastic!

I was only on a poorly lit 2 lane backroad. With my Low beam and driving lights, I had an incredible light spread. On both sides of the road I could see the entire grassy part and somewhat in to the trees. Exactly what I want to see to watch for the few deer we have around here. Not a single oncoming car flashed their high beams at me which is also excellent.

Excellent!  Thanks for the photos.  I also finished upgrading to all LED and had a similar night riding experience last night.  Only difference is my high beam is an OSRAM Easy brand also available from LedPerf and it has a slightly different throw pattern from what your photos show.  I do feel the low beam is still lacking a little and it must be due to the headlight/reflector/projector design rather than the light itself.  But with the driving lights on to help the low beam I'm getting more than acceptable coverage. Good job and thanks again for sharing.

I agree. The Low beam reflector design must limit the light output and/or pattern of the LedPerf LED bulb. It’s still MUCH better than the OEM halogen. Just not as much of an improvement as I would have expected.

But when I add in the LedPerf LEDs in the driving lights, it’s amazing.

The LedPerf LED High beam is well beyond all expectations.

I'm thinking you're keen on this, but be aware of how bright your set up will be for on coming traffic.  It's not such a concern with a high beam set up, as any responsible operator will dip them when needed.   But I have run into so many vehicles who's low beam LEDs are set up with little thought as to how blinding their set up is to on coming traffic.

Yup. So far I’m 0 for about 150 oncoming vehicles that have flashed their lights at me for having the Guzzi lights either too brite or aimed too high for them.

That’s a great start.
