It says for decoration only but it seems like it would work as a main light... any suggestions?

Looks interesting but I'm sure it would be a cop magnet! That's if you live in an area where the cops actually give a damn about such things.

im not too sure they would care... I think its worth a try at least.. If I get caught its my own fault i guess...

LED headlights are not legal here. I wouldn't use one. I just don't think the LEDs throw enough light far enough for an effective headlight.

I've heard that LEDs are extremely directional and that seems to cause problems with any sort of visiblity that isn't head on.....

I'm a cop that rides, half the force I work with rides... If it is illegal in your area, they'll know.

headlights are a pretty serious but of safety equipment, dont skimp.

if you looking for cool headlights, look for halogen housings for old bmws. they have tons of rad new ones with angel eyes and hid lenses and whatnot. they also fit in standard 7" or 7 1/2" buckets with very little effort.
