• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

2015 st headlight change

You can get the fan type in after you pull the Instrument Panel. Small and/or young hands, help. The big mushroom looking passive heat sink type won't fit around the bails. (Ask me how I know this). Your illumination pattern will change. For me a big improvement over the Halogen fireflies.
 
LED headlights

I installed LaMonster LED headlights in my 2013 Spyder.
Definitely take the instrument panel off.
I took off the windshield also.
Small hands help to attache the bulb clamps.
The LEDs are pre clocked so filament rotation alignment is not an issue.
For me the only issue is the projected height of the light pattern.
I have to significantly lower the light beam at my next major mechanical service.
The illumination of the LED lights is worth the effort:)
 
If you don't already have one, get a service manual from an online site. canammanuals.com

Here are some pics of when I replaced the headlights with LEDs. The LEDs had metal mesh ribbon for the cooling and the newer bulbs will have a cooling head that fits better. It will be very helpful if you have someone with small hands as they are hard to get at and the spring clips are strong.

WOW, Holy tight quarters Batman!!! I just bought my wife a set of metal ribbon heat sink style. (Fan motors create RF noise) I got the Instrument Panel off and I can get my finger to the back of the bulb. But NO Possible way can I grab or turn anything in there. It looks like the best solution would be to remove all Tupperware, and remove the headlight housing. I wear 3X gloves, there is no way I can see to get in there.
 
3 years ago installed LED's with the fan and one fan failed and so did the LED. Installing Lamonts LED this spring when get back riding. With his I know they will fit.
