Replacement headlight bulbs for f3

[SarasotaSpyder]

Talked to my dealer and he said the bulbs were H4. So I contacted a site vendor and bought these to have installed. I will either have the dealer install them, or I might see if Reggie at TricLED can put them in when he does the rest of my lights. I hope these will work. I went with LED versus HID because I think they should last longer/be a white light versus the stock ones/and was told they would be 2.5x brighter than stock.

Am I right?:dontknow:

Took a lightbulb to Autozone and said I wanted the brightest bulbs he had. Sold me the Sylvania ZXE. Extremely happy!

Can you state or show a photo of what LED bulb you're talking about?

Thanks!

This is the bulb I took out. HB2.

Thanks! Apparently the H4/HB2/9300 are all the "same" bulb so one can keep this in mind when looking for bulbs. Correct me if I'm wrong, please.

I'd still like to see the LED bulb that the OP said he was going to use...

Thanks! Please be sure to post some pics once installed. I'd be curious to see the light distribution with these LED bulbs.

Those bulbs would not work in my F3. Just a simple three prong plug. No additional wires coming off of them.

Not only are these bulbs great at night, they are highly visible during daylight hours. You can't look at the lights with the brights on. A few flicks of the bright switch should get someone's attention!

Correct the Bulbs won't work! Your not just changing the bulbs but the whole assembly. The kit comes with a wiring harness that should be plug and play with the factory wiring harness and ballasts which on some RT'S drove Nanny a little crazy. I installed a set of HID on my RT from KBcarstuff a site vendor. Just make sure the Ballasts don't mess with Nanny! I would have probably gone with the Extreme set a little more costly but have a couple very nice features, low draw on start up and each bulb is individually fused.
Hope they work out lets us know.
