    I'm afraid they are going to be no better than HIDs, I want to test them out on the 80 but for a test 150 is expensive

    i would not expect more output than HID

    halogen<LED<HID

    but the benefits would be less draw and longer life than halogen and HID

    Hero 2...i have tons of mounts for various things

    i have the suction mount for wheeling...i'd put it normally on the hood in front of me...i've had the go pro come off before and not see it...so i like to keep it in view...

    i've done on the roof too..low risk of it coming off unless you are going through brush or trees with low branches, you can lose it that way too..

    i don't use the go pro as much as i really should

    There is a group going on over on XR-U for some plug and play HID's for our reverse lights.


    Edit: nevermind apparently the groupbuy was only for the 1st 10 and it hit 10 last night.
