LED Headlight Bulb (HS5) ??

These bulbs boast three times the light output of halogen without the high heat and about 1/2 the power. Appreciate thoughts and comments Thx

2000 lumens wouldn't be anywhere near 3x the light output from the stock lights (guessing minimum 1200 lumens, happy to be told otherwise).
Another problem I encounter when looking up LED lights is that you never see the plug on the pig tail, so do you need to solder a plug onto them?
And then you have the way our reflectors are setup for a particular light pattern, typically ball or arc type. These have 3 pinpoints of light. Eh?

I gave up and ordered xenon gas bulbs which claim a modest and more realistic 30% increase in light output for the same wattage. Not sure about heat?
When I've used xenon gas bulbs in my cars over the years, I could see my lights reflecting off sign posts further away, but otherwise much the same.
My next order will be some super bright Cree LED lights to replace my parkers, in the hope I get some more spill light out to the sides and under the high beam.

Wow, my bicycle light is 1200 lumens and similar brightness to halogen.

That just looks like banana connectors. Where would you get the plugs from?
