I know this is an old post but just thought I'd add a little to it.
I'mm using these too but I bought some HID conversions from Ebay for $60, had to drill out the back a little to make them fit, was not too bad. With the HIDs they are plenty bright, the problem I have with them in the dunes is the plastic blocks everything low, when cresting a dune you just drop into the abiss. I'm going to be looking for some trail techs to go on the bars, I also like the light to turn with my steering.

Even with the bar mounts coming over top is still blind.The barmount HID's and a helmet HID would be the perfect setup.

Are those the 4's or the 7's? Be aware that the housing on the 7's are the weak link because of the weight of all the components in there. I have seen them break the housing at the mount as if you had wrecked when you didnt.
I would suggest if anyone wants to do this that the 4's actually throw a more usable wider beam and there is less mass to worry about.

hmmm......interesting. the lights pictured are 7in. I havent heard of any failures of the housing until now. The 4in lights do look good and i may end up using them eventually. the lights have already been through a race and showed no signs of wear. ill be sure and pay attention though, thanks!
