It took a long time, but I got the HID kit out and both LED bulbs in. I did have a ride tonight, but mostly urban which is not the best for testing. Might be several weeks before a rural night ride. Light output is certainly lower and bluer. For some reason, the cutoff is sharp on the right and kicked up some on the left... very confused so more fiddling needed.
So far, I think I probably made a mistake removing the HID kit (which is pretty much a permanent removal now) but it is livable. The kit was aging- some of the wires had cuts in it, the high/low beams were wobbly and those cables were always coming unplugged, the igniter in the cowl would never stay mounted and was moving around, etc. So I am trying to tell myself I had to remove it, anyway.
Lots of photos taken, but too tired now to do the 1+ hour worth of work editing, labeling, posting, etc. Perhaps tomorrow.
