Best Aux./Driving/Conspicuity Lights & LED Headlight Bulbs as of 09/2019???

You are certainly correct about the light temperature and visibility. I have run 4300k HID kits in the past on other bikes.

The great appeal for the Super Ten with LED conversions like Nighteye and Novsight is the lack of ballasts and fans. With our rear dust cap design, being able to easily tuck everything inside and install an extended dust cover to seal it again is very appealing.

HID ballasts are getting smaller and HID Aux lights now often come with internal ballasts, but for headlight conversions that ballast usually ends up outside the headlight assembly and diminishes the water/dust seal at the rear of the headlight.

There are some 4300k light temp LEDs being offered to the US market. I have no experience with any of these brands though. I see 3000k color temp kits for yellow light, but not sunlight color kits. I found a few 5000k & 5500k color temp kits also, but again, unknown quality.

So where can you get the extended dust cover? Thanks.

I ended up buying the Baja Designs Squadron Pros with the Skene light controller and amber filter for both lights. Got the 1"/25mm mounts to fit my T-Rex crash bars.

That is actually my setup to a t.

This is how I mounted the HID gear. The H7 lights come with a grommet attached for the input/output wires, you just need to drill the right size hole in the dust access cover, really easy to do, the rest is plug and play!

What type of grommet did you use to fill the hole? Where did you buy it? I just bought the Novotel H7 and they don’t fit because the wire on the bulb comes out the backside approximately 1/8 of an inch. That is enough to stop the cover from fitting on. If the wire would’ve come out the side of the bulb, it would’ve fit perfectly. So now, I’m looking for a way to make it fit.
