Is it worth changing the 690 SMC R Headlight ?

Swapping out the 690 SMC r Headlight for an LED unit.

Looks great! And a lot cheaper than the other brand! 👍

[@Robbiemoto]

Oh for sure. That other company are sure making a big mark up.

[@d17a2dude]

I picked up a '23 last week. It's great!

[@Robbiemoto]

Great to know. Have fun and enjoy.

[@timwatsonuk]

Sorry to see your little mishap Robbie. Makes my dulled plastics look like nothing!!! Cheers for the video. Don't listen to the "pros" complaining. It's great to see how a bloke in his garage does stuff. That's how we all do it.

[@Robbiemoto]

Cheers pal. I wasn’t really that bothered about it but every now and again when I feel the need to I just repeat that I’m Just an average Joe messing in the garage. 😁. Maybe I should get a T shirt with that on lol.

[@dobby3674]

I swapped the original one with the one from cyclops. I love it. High beem throw is huge

[@Robbiemoto]

That was one I was considering a while back. This one drew me purely with the design layout. I’m gonna do a night ride and see if it actually lights the road up.

[@rickc6726]

Nice mod, thanks for the vlog!👍

[@Robbiemoto]

Thank you. And Thanks for watching.

[@rickc6726]

How have you found the light at night, is it better? Wider beam, etc?🤔👍

[@Robbiemoto]

Hi. I haven’t had the time to do a night ride. I probably will over the weekend so when I do I’ll do another vid on it.

[@garymoore3640]

Hi mate long time lurker, got both same bikes. Great minds lol keep it up.

[@Robbiemoto]

Thanks. And well done on your excellent choices 😁. Don’t stay a lurker. Chip in anytime. Always happy for people to share their thoughts.

[@rjcollier6078]

Looks great. Can you update us on how you like the light in a month or two. For the price it seems like a great deal.

[@Robbiemoto]

Sure. I don’t usually ride at night but I’ll do a night ride at some point and see how good it is then.

[@billybean7488]

What a massive improvement mate. Did you buy yourself a new watch too?

[@Robbiemoto]

It sure does look better and no mate i didn’t get a new watch. That was the most expensive part of the fall lol. I have the stainless steel version with the crystal glass screen. Apple quoted nearly £500 to replace the screen. More likely they’d swap it for a refurb watch and not change the screen. I got some cutting compound polish at work and buffed it with that. Not perfect but better than it was.

Hi Robbie, have you got a link for this headlight mate? Cheers pal. Bought a 23 plate on a preregistration for a steal of a price and now want to trick it up a bit.

Hey mate how's this go at night? Any tests? Also is the DLR blinding at night for other cars? Cheers

[@Robbiemoto]

Hi. I’ve not tested it at night yet. But you’ve reminded to actually do a night ride. I’ll do one in a few days.

[@johnpurvis530]

what make of cordless is that please ?

[@Robbiemoto]

No special make. It’s a cheap one from Amazon but works great. Had it around 4 years. amzn.eu/d/0ciZ9JB
