I've read there both are not as bright as stock setup. I too was not found of the factory setup so I rewired/ bypassed the factory switch with a couple of relays and used a high wattage bulb and noticed a huge difference.

I don't have much of a problem with my light output with the Black Mamba, can't say about the Acerbis though. It is slightly dimmer than stock, but I ride home everyday in the dark. Mind you I travel on city streets and lit freeways, so you have to consider that too. Cool thing about the mamba.......HID bulbs and ballasts are available for them. Blow that heavy stock headlight away. I am installing HID's in mine very soon. I will let everyone know how it goes.:thumbsup:

I have had the Mamba for quite some time now, and its pale in comparison to the Stock set up. The nice thing is you can wire it up however you want. I ride at night often, and have no problems. And as said above, I'm working on HIDs aswell.

Yep, thanks to Ragtop for guiding me through the install. I am really happy with it, and I know you are too. I found some websites that sell the mr-16 HID bulbs and ballasts. Have you come up with anything? Trying to keep the price down.
