Hi,

I'm looking for a better headlight for my F3-S. Can I install 100w LED without get housing damaged ?

thanks for your help!

Wattage makes heat...
Why not stick with a known product from a proven vendor?

I wouldn't do that. If you need more light, install driving lights such as these from TricLED; https://www.tricledusa.com/_p/prd1/3...99s-spotlights

Are you sure what type of bulb you are talking about ...... I've heard of 100 watt " HALOGEN " bulbs ....LED's are generally rated in " LUMEN's " .......... I had 100 watt halogen's in my RT, with no HEAT issues on the plastic headlight COVER - but the OEM plugs disintegrated, I cured that problem by changing those plugs to CERAMIC ones ..... But the 100 w halogen bulbs weren't anywhere near as bright as the LED's I bought at TriClid ........ and the LED's won't burn out in your lifetime ............. Mike

Yup!
You'll get a much brighter light, with a bulb life that is amost unbelievable!
I got mine from TricLEDs.

Mike,

I'm taking about 100watts LED Headlight that provide 10000 lumens. This LED comes with fan integrated. I'm hesitating to install that. I order from Ebay. Thanks for your comments.

OK now I think everyone can understand what bulbs you want to use ..... I can't say exactly what the heat output is between the two ..... but LED's run substantially cooler ........... Mike

This thing has a built-in fan! I sure wouldn't want that in my bike.
