I have one (the Kisan) and have had lots of people comment on it that it was much easier to tell when i was breaking. The nicest thing about the Kisan (other than it works really well) is that is a direct 1157 replacement. Soren

Thanks! I see they have a model 20W that is an upgrade of the 10W. I don't think it means brightness. Is there any reason not to go with the older cheaper one? The online instruction guide only covers the 20W and has a warning that Triumph may be a problem due to improper grounding. Has that been a problem?

I have not had any problems at all. I just swapped the regular bulb for the modulator bulb and away I went. I have had it for maybe a year and a half or so.

I think the issue was with older Triumphs.
The diff between the older and newer units (10W vs 20W) is as follows.
The 10W is just like the bulb in your bike now, an 1157 (I think) but it modulates. When it burns out you replace the whole thing.
The 20W uses a base that has the modulating feature in it but has replaceable halogen bulbs (G4). This way when it burns out you replace the G4 bulb and the modulating piece stays put.
Oh...and the 20W comes with an extra bulb.
