    Question Which LED headlight is better?

    I am considering updating the headlights on my F3L to LED's from stock. I see that some of the conversions have cooling fans and others(specifically Lamonts) say that due to the design no fan is required. I know of one person I ride with occasionally had a fan fail and had to replace it when it started making a screeching noise. Would appreciate feedback from anyone who has either style with good or bad thoughts about with or without the fan.
    My new ride is a 2017 F3-L: BRP drivers backrest, F4 21" tinted shield w/vent, Lamonster fog lights, TRCLED cyclops light, red/black carbon fiber tank protector and dash kit from Wrap-My-Spyder, FOBO tire pressure monitors and more farkles to come.

    I had the Bulbs from Lamont in my ST and they were great.

    I'm of the opinion that the less moving parts the better.

    I got mine from TricLED and it was a snap, no pun intended.

    I did not have to do any trimming, cutting or anything at all, it was a breeze. I had them for about a year now and they have been a blessing.

    I also had the Lamonster Headlight replacement on my ST LTD. They worked great and I plan to get them put on my F3L also, especially now that I have the Fog lights and they are a different color.

    I have Lamonts LED headlights and foglights.
    I'm very happy with them. I can only imagine the F3 lights are equally as good.
    If it ain't broke, don't break it.

    I have the Bulbs from Lamont in my 2013 ST and they work great.

    I agree the less moving parts the better.

    I already have Lamont's fog lights installed and the lack of fan cooling on his bulbs doesn't seem to be a problem. Thanks for all your input. I'm leaning toward Lamont's headlight bulbs.

    +1 for TricLED. I can't say the install was easy, but I did get it done. Of course, the install has zero to do with the quality of the LED's. That's an accessibility issue depending on your model design.

    The only sure way of getting rid of bad habits is to create good ones.
    AND, by the way, this will not happen on auto pilot.

    It's time for a YOU-turn!!!
