Still on my 1st one after three years and 18000+ miles...your first one must have been a dud.

Yes. Have one in mine - can't report much on life yet (put it in this winter and haven't been out for a ride yet) but it works fine and is a much brighter light.

I don't know that it's a "much brighter light. " I would say its a much BLUER (is this a word?) light. Optical Dellusion?
The high beam works **** good, probably to the shagrin of my fellow roadmates. Oh well , ever heard of Me first and the gimme gimmies?
