    Welcome to WB. On rideouts we usually are very civilised :-)
    As per lights my previous bike had very crappy ones, current have LED ones so it is much better and I don't feel like I'm riding with torch :-)

    Hi,
    I guess the LEDs were standard on the bike?
    Not sure if you can retrofit them easily - I know LEDs need a lot of bulky electronics

    Barely bigger than a standard bulb (they have a small heatsink on the back). You are thinking of HID which requires ballast and relays.

    MOT regs tightened up last year, retrofit HID is now an automatic fail and I'm not sure of the status of retrofit LED (Though I believe either without a specifically designed reflector/housing is against C&U so an offence).
