Just wandering has anyone tried the 50 Watt LED Replacement Cornering Light Bulb (SCML50WC-2 from Cyclemax. Is replacement simply as printed and are they brighter than the oem bulbs. They are quite pricey and I haven't seen any kind of review.

Howdy Roger. If my old memory serves me right folks that have tried that melted plastic parts. In most cases the manufactures seem to give all the light that works correctly but with the advent of LED lighting you can get much more brightness with much less heat. If you can locate an LED bulb to fit that would be an excellent solution.

I'm like an old race horse..... I can still run the race -- Just ache more at the finish line and need more rest between outings.

Oh .... it had me wondering too. I knew "E-T" said LEDs, but he called them 50 watt LEDs. I knew .... "can't be".
When I first bought our Trike in 2004, it had the wire cut at the relays to make them hot all the time .... I replaced bulbs a couple times (not a common bulb & not cheap at Honda shop) ....
then I reconnected that wire.
No blown bulbs since.
I may decide to clip it again myself and use a set of these LEDs myself. One could even wire a small DPDT Switch in to the wires and "choose" on the go?

Every time I do something like that .... I promise I'm gonna proofread my posts and whatever I respond to .... again before posting .... and then I do it again.
I am really confused now. I guess we now have the description figured out so now how good do they work for 58.00 for two.

My trike is a 98 so the "cornering lights" are on all the time. Are you asking about a bike where the lights are actually "cornering". That could be factor in regards to the heat generated. Let us know as "inquiring minds" like to know. Looking forward to seeing how this works.
Well, I put my foot in my mouth too. I should have looked at the bulb description before I jumped in. As soon as I saw the listing I knew I had just stepped in it. I am slowly replacing the many incandescent bulbs on my trike so I will be trying these sometime soon. Am still interested in hearing your results.
New LED Cornering lights before and after from cyclemax. Looks some brighter but not what I expected for 58.00. Oh well maybe everyone else will see me better and that's what im after.
They are much brighter for sure. I'd say money well spent.

Thanks for posting the results Rodger. What is the actual difference in brightness from the rider perspective? I totally agree they are making you more visible but do they help you see better as you turn?
I'm with ZOOK.... Money well spent even with what you've shown us already.

Thanks! That's good news Rodger. Sounds like you are better off than before so I'd say you spent $$ well.

I installed the 50w led's in my cornering lights about a month ago and am well pleased with them. They were a simple plug in and forget. They do much for the side illumination especially with the high beams on. I was afraid oncoming traffic would be continually flashing because of the brightness but thus far it has not been a problem.
I have them in my 1500 and they are a lot brighter and have had no issue with heat.........
