Griso headlight upgrade?

I spotted an off the shelf LED headlight for about 90 bucks on flea bay that would look pretty cool and has multiple elements inside.  Kind of looked like the new Cali headlight.  Has anyone attempted an upgrade like this?

I've never found the Griso's headlight to be lacking. It's the best headlight of all the bikes I've owned which may not be saying much since all of my bikes have had traditional round headlights (Harleys, Ducatis, Guzzis, BMWs, Hondas from the 70s-80's). So the Griso is the most modern bike I've ridden at night. When I still had my 2005 Ducati Monster 1000S I was amazed at how much brighter the Griso's headlight was when ridden back to back. It really lit up the side of the road. It made me feel safer because I felt that I might have a chance at seeing deer on the side.

The stock Griso lamp is pretty average in my opinion,the cali on the other hand is exceptional. I have been hoping for a better option for the Griso but those are some pretty small wires and would likely need to be improved upon as well. Maybe not for led though.

I think there's a lot of extra wires there too so I'm hoping to be the 2nd tester.  :boozing:
