I've seen several of these advertised on Ebay, and I've gotten used to the LED on my Uly...

...but I don't want to replace the stocker with some cheap POS that goes out in a year.

Any thoughts? Recommendations on sources for a good quality unit?

Are you just looking to replace the bulb? I replaced my bulb with a LED replacement, I think it replaced bulb #1157. It has about 8 or 10 LED's and I picked up a pair (only way you can buy them) at Autozone for IIRC $17.

To be honest I really can't tell a difference in brightness but I could go to a clear lens now that the light shines red.

Oh, and I've had it over 3 yrs.

as ky said above the led bulb upgrade is worth it and if you get a good bulb you will have no trouble i ran a clear lens with it, just as bright or better than stock i now have an ebay light but have not ran it enuf to give feedback but they seam nice.

I put one on my X1 after I overtorqued my lens and broke it. No problems so far, and the LED's are likely to last as long as the bike does.
