I just installed my 800 series lights and as others have said, they're better than stock. I wouldn't say they project further, but they are brighter and look better

Putting mine in tommorow.
Everyone else for the model with the tiny fan built in right?

Yep, my 12" light bar is mainly for looks now. Only time I use it now is to flip it on when everyone blinks their brights at me

I tried these on my 700 and they didn't work. They can be installed but the orientation of the led chips ends up not being correct. The led chips should be at 9 and 3 o'clock once installed in order to maximize the light beam from the reflector housing. Instead they installed at 12 and 6 o'clock. I returned them and instead ordered bulbs with an adjustable mounting ring. They will arrive tomorrow and should solve this issue for me.

I got it from reading various websites that sell or advise about doing LED upgrades. I've read that LED chips are supposed to mimic the filament of whatever bulb you are installing, this case being the 881 bulb. The filament of that bulb is vertical. An LED replacement should be one that is only 2 sided and with one side pointing at 9 o'clock and the other pointing at 3. Also, on my 700, if I look at the headlight housing from the front, there's very little reflector material down at 6 o'clock. It's mostly just black plastic. To me, it would support the idea that you want the led's shining directly towards a bright reflector surface and not towards dull black plastic. I also noticed when I installed one of the LEDs that you used, the light pattern was not as good as the OEM factory bulb. Again, just trying to learn some more and hoping what I already know will help me out. Anyway, the new LEDs arrive tomorrow and I will have my answer.

Mine are probably at 12 and 6 as well, but I gotta say that the amount of light put out and the distance thrown is much much more than the OEM were. So much so that I really have no need for the 12" LED bar across the front of my machine

I was having the same issue. Did the bulbs work out and can you send a link where to get them.

700's do not have brights/lows switch like cars do. Its just off or on. Unless there's an under-dash or old school floor-mounted button I've never found.
