I'm looking at doing this upgrade on a Niterider to replace a 15w halogen, and am wondering if a heatsink would be necessary or not. The halogen bulb in there now already gets plenty warm, and I can't imagine the LEDs would be any warmer and that the housing would handle it... Have you done this upgrade, and if so would you recommend the heatsink? You mention that the LEDs get hot, but do they get hotter than a halogen bulb?
