Wow. The Honda LED headlamp is embarrassingly shameful.

I am somewhat surprised the model passes import DOT.

I asked Thomas to send me, or post his adapter drawing so it can be redrawn.

As the senior tech here (hey, I was here first! Wink ) I’ll assign the job to Peterbaron. Peter will assign it to Max and Max can assign it to Csory, the junior tech. He’s really good though Smile

Was thinking the same thing but in a different order, your selection makes more sense thoughSleepy

And Csory can turn one of the Blue-and-something wires into a disco strobe for christmas piece a cake ( or strudel ).

the closest I come to riding at night is when I go through a tunnel.. I am curious though as to how my foggies would aid me in night driving .. maybe one day I will find out.. I think the newer LED lighting that has become available is the way to go myself.. but everyone has their own opinions.. thank God we all don't think exactly alike !! ..

Chuckk i agree, those lights stand out very well, rode over the curved harbour bridge one day and saw these 2 bright yellow lights that turned out to be a motorcycle, they were probably 400m away and you could not miss them, very bright and draw your attention, nice video.

Hm, maybe my E-Mails didn't reach you.
I tried to send you my drawings.
To post them here I dont think that makes sense as they are really "handmade", not at all professional an not at all correct in terms of electricity. Only sketches. What to do?

Anybody have a spare headlight bucket? This company will provide a free product to the person that sends them a bucket so that they can design a custom bracket for that model.

Aha, I see, thank you for information!
I think there is no hurry at all.
It's winter now and I guess many bikers won't drive during the next 10-12 weeks. If anyone needs to know something for the modification he can ask here in the forum. I'll bee happy to give advice from my experience of this headlight modification.

I can attest it's not only the LED headlight equipped CB's that have TERRIBLE output, rode my recently purchased '14 STD at night for the first time Monday and almost felt blindfolded in some roads, no fun.

I too look for a rather cost effective LED upgrade that is not as invasive as a whole new $500+ assy.
