    Hi all,

    There is a bit of info on fitting these lights but Im wondering how they hold up over, lets say a year or more.  Read a few posts that they fall out or blow leds.  Could be shit, but they are a fair wedge to buy and if they dont hold up I will stay with that sad looking standard light

    Pete, if it's a brand new one, it should be fine. There was a batch that had problems with the internal circuit board sagging/flexing, and breaking connections, rendering the light useless. I had one of these older ones, and that happened to me. I got maybe 2 years out of it first though. I have a new one and that problem is supposed to be fixed.

    Had mine since 2008 done 40,000+kms mostly bumpy back roads, all leds work & never had a problem.
    as for falling out, maybe some people shouldnt touch their own bikes.
