LED Headlights and Lamonster exhaust....oh my!

[Bob Denman]

There is much more to come. As soon as Pitbull gets me my new fenders, every black body panel is headed to the body shop for some fun.

:thumbup: Can't wait to see what happens next!
:bbq: While we're waiting; does anybody want some Bratwurst? :bbq:

I have not researched those yet. Suggestions? Would be nice to find an aftermarket LED driving lamp that fits/mounts well. What about the dash switch?

I am putting off other farkels until I get the body/paint done. There is a budget limit and I am already well past it. My list is growing but it is prioritized. Headlights were really needed as the stock ones are pretty lacking.

I just took the plastic cover off the side scoop to see what I have to work with... So the search begins.. Definitely goin with LEDs cause they not only kick ass,, but they are cheaper to boot....

Installing these is exactly the same as changing as stock bulb. You just need to ruffle the heat sink webs to spread them out after installing the capsule. They install from the top, remove the top cover and instrument cluster.

I have no pics of the stock pattern but they were so dim as to be nearly useless in the dark. I ride to work in the dark so needed better lighting. The high and low patterns are distinct with the low beam having a sharp cut off so as not to blind oncoming traffic. I will try to remember to take some night time pics.

Can these be installed upside down? I installed a set in my F3 and I cannot tell the difference between the high and low beams. Thx

Have you had a chance to take a photo of the beam pattern, both high and low beam, at night? That would be quite helpful.

Thanks!
Robert

led's

As soon as I find someone that I have more confidence in than Xenon Depot, I will try the 9005 LED's. They look to be much brighter than the stock light. First I need to find a dealer I can trust.

Any chance of a video/sound byte of your new exhaust. Outside drive by ??

Thanks,

Love the LED's !!!

What problem did you have with them? I just received my order in a timely fashion.

I have done many orders through XenonDepot and all has gone very well.

Video?

Anyone planning to do a video of replacing the headlight bulbs? And yes, I have looked at the manual.

 

[jneg2]

I gave up on replacing mine and sent them back- too much bodywork needed to be removed, and didn't want to risk damaging anything!

Same 'bodywork' that would need to come off to change a burned out lamp. The instructions really sound worse than it really is. Its just the top center panel and the grab rails on either side that come off. About a dozen screws.

Nice! Can you post a pic showing the low and high beam pattern of these LEDs at night? Thanks!

 

[stebrock]

So jc you never answered the question about the orientation. Is there a correct "up and down"? Just ordered a set. Also any update on led's for the fog lamps? Figured it would be a lot easier to swap bulbs before installing them.
Thanks,Rick

The headlamp bulbs will only install one way. They are keyed.

I have a set of led lamps in my BRP fog lights but they are NOT plug n play. Very bright and work well just like the ones in the head lamps but the H3 bulb configuration in the fogs does not lend itself to an LED replacement. Do not recommend HIDs in the fog lamps due to the proximity of the ECM right next to the left lamp housing.

I just reordered the headlights, now that I am more confident about installing them. Also they are less than half the original price now, if anybody is so inclined!

 

[mini73]

Been wanting to get some led headlights since purchasing the F3. Dont know how long they will take to get to me from Canada but at least I finally ordered them. I need to find some led bulbs for the foglight that I put in also.

Thanks i just order this today!!!

No, those are replacement halogen bulbs, not LED.

These are what I used:
