So I received the 5" LED light. It's supposed to be for motorcycles but I don't believe that at 5w, it's actually bright enough for a motorcycle. Anyway, it's bright enough for me on a bike. I haven't connected on the bike yet as I'm still waiting for a stepdown converter, this one. I connected it to a 12v power source so I can compare it with the Rad original headlight. Here's a couple of pics:
. First is a side by side, and the second is top and bottom. It's not as focused as the original, but it's a much bigger spread of light.
Here's a couple of pics of it on my bike.

Basically, drilled a hole in the mount, and cut off a little bit of the metal, then use the original nut & bolt. Note that the light is not turned on in the pics, just looks that way. The wires are not even connected yet.
Edit: I found a smaller converter so I canceled the earlier mentioned one and ordered this one. It's smaller so easier to hide, and already black so I don't have to paint it.
