I have a driving light that died and I give up...it ain't an H3 bulb in there. Looks like a LED light of some sort. any suggestion from out there in Visionland?

PIAA 55-watt Dichronic replacement bulb #15352, fits Vision's 35-watt fork mounted driving lights.?? Much brighter than stock and outputs the equivalent light of an 85-watt bulb

no the PIAA 55-watt Dichronic replacement bulb #15352 is an H3 bulb and the driving lights on my bike are not H3 bulbs. They are more like a high intesity LED. I am calling the dealer this morning and talking with them. Besides I am rather irked that I spent almost $300 for these lights and one burned out after 8 months.

Interesting that you have an LED light. Are they PIAA? I've had two bulbs burn out in the 2.5 years of use. One 35w and one 55w, the last one I bought was ~$43. These lights take a pretty good pounding mounted to the forks. So it doesn't surprise me of the rate of bulb failure. Whole lot of shak'n going on. I kinda wish the design boys would have made the driving light mounts in the fairing. If I had to do it over again, that's where I would mount the PIAAs.

I'm thinking with all the intuitive folks we have on this site that someone hasn't came up with a cheaper way to mount them via the fairing or forks??...$300 will by lots of upgrades...
