How many riders switched to LED headlights from halogen?

That is physically impossible due to the difference in how the light is produced. You cannot alter physics.

Which physical law is being violated here? Be specific.

I'm sure this has been covered before, but the technology has probably evolved since the last thread on it.

What are people's experience?

Pro's?
Con's?

I redid all my rear lights and turn signals if my new headlight that comes in can use led i will swap that also

Sticking this video here so you can see how sharp a line an proper LED can throw. 10:00 min into the video if you want to skip forward.

Which physical law is being violated here? Be specific.

It’s bot so much a specific law as it is practicalities. A halogen bulb has a filament of wire, wound into a spiral about 1/16th of an inch in diameter. It emits light in a 360 degree pattern around the axis of the coil. This pattern of light emission cannot be duplicated by an LED. It’s as simple as that. And nothing any LED manufacturer says about their bulbs can change that.

I switched to a LED in my dirtbike and it worked great and it is quite a bit brighter.
