Bruce, The Dinotte tail light is superb as is the universal tail light from Nightrider.Dont skimp on tail lights.The LED headlights are expensive and not as bright as HID's.My L&M Arc puts out 675 lumens on High if you can believe that and 550 lumens on low.If low is really 550, it is not enough for me to safely see at say 20mph. So anything less is just less.Here is a site that sells parts,kits,etc. for putting together a reasonably priced (hah!) HID system. www.trailtech.net Here is a discussion forum which gives some advice on the Trail Tech stuff. http://www.more-mtb.org/forum/archive/index.php/t-1487.html A friend uses Turbcat Halogen lights and is quite happy with them.They overdrive the bulbs creating a brighter light with shorter bulb life.Halogen bulbs are cheap in comparison to HID.Choose the light system that works for your terrain and speed. I personally need the brighter HID for the roads that I ride.You can never have enough lights on your bike at night,be careful out there.
