LED Headlamp Replacement

no, they go right in. the -only- difficulty you may have is getting the rubber rain boot over the back of the bulb. the 'body' of the bulb is thicker. it needs to be stretched over. but it will go on, or you can leave it off.

oh, that one i’ll figure, thanks!

When I mess with my headlight, I’ll park in a very dark place, get off the bike and walk way out in front of it and look at it and think, if I were in an oncoming car, would this blind me? I’ll adjust it so I’ve got a good beam on the road without being obnoxious to other drivers.

I had the forks serviced on my Triumph a few years back. Apparently the shop was careless in putting my headlight back on. A few days later, in daylight on my street, an oncoming driver flagged me down to stop.

He had a thick Scottish accent and yelled “Dammit lad, are you trying to blind everyone with your bloody bright lights?”

I looked and the headlight was aimed up a bit. I apologized and adjusted it.

Thanks man, this is exactly what I wanted to know. Gonna order that LED myself.

Just to make sure: do these bulbs https://www.ebay.com/itm/375309758244?mk...media=COPY that m in sc suggested require any modifications?

Good product, I use one as well since 2023, no issues after about 50,00 kms

The LED bulb was helpful but the biggest difference was when I added the LED pods to my engine guards. Probably doubled my light output/visible pavement on the road both forwards and sides.

And I think the lights cost me $30 and an hour in the garage.

Always a great addition, for more light and for added visibility. Knock on wood, my $30 Ebay spots on my Bonneville have been faultless for ten years now.

Yea I grabbed some ebay cheapos too, I normally go with the Nilight or Auxbeam brand for any aftermarket lighting for my vehicles but they didn't make the shape/size i wanted to be visually appealing on the CB but some cheapo Ebay one did so thats why I went with that also.

I have an Auxbeam 6 gang switch/control system on my dash to control the lights on my current vehicle and it keeps everything nice and organized and I have 3 open switches to still add more stuff eventually. Probably a roof bar and maybe rear ditch/reverse lights. We do alot of beach driving and off road camping and stuff so all the extra lighting is great.
