How is everyone liking their OEM LED headlights when riding at night?
How full is the beam pattern both low & high beam? Are there noticeable "holes" in the beam pattern when turning or straight ahead?
How is the overall brightness?

Ditto^
Best headlights I've had across a lot of sport bikes with reflector and projector housings. Previous gen R1's had satisfactory projectors but they weren't meant to house HIDs. Only thing with our units is vulnerability to rock chips imo.

Thanks for the quick replies.
The 2017 FZ-09 now has LED headlights. One of the video reviews complained about and showed significant "holes" in the low beam pattern - particularly bad when turning.
Yes, I did read the thread about cracks just appearing in some FZ-10 headlight covers / lenses. Sounds like Yamaha is covering the issue under warranty provided there is no evidence of debris impact.
The first vehicle I have experienced with OEM LED headlights is my 2016 Mazda - they are excellent.

I don't notice any holes in the beam pattern. I did adjust my low and high beams a little bit higher. The edge of the light pattern is very sharp and there is little bleed. They light forward just fine but are useless in the corners. If you like spirited night riding, get aux lamps.
