Headlight LED bulb

[Sparky84]

This one works Great too, no modifications required, just have to adjust you light Down all the way. Also love the high beam on it

The tail on the Cyclops is clever. The H4 plug is moved to allow room for the cooling fins.

[Sparky84]

Agreed, it was so easy to fit, plenty of space around it, you can hear the inbuilt fan buzzing when you turn ignition to On.

At least you didn't kill Bambi, like someone I know....

This is the bulb I have fitted, note the shields around the chips.

Have you had any problems with heat since no fan. And do you think the out put is a lot better.

I use an HID kit from DDM tuning. Very bright at night, at 5000K it is like having a sliver of the Sun shooting out front. But a bit more involved to install as you need to mount the ballast and HiLo controller under the fairing as well.

HID's make it very busy under the fairing.



Mark, I have an HID that was the best I could buy at the time, it's blindingly bright but doesn't throw a decent beam. When it dies I will replace it with an LED as it's no longer my main driving light but I'm curious to know, you say your headlight is like a sliver of Sun, would you rate it as a comfortably adequate beam to ride at say 70 mph in the absence of all street lighting?

Yes Noel, my first night ride after installing it was the day Klavdy argued with a Pinecone and lost, when he was here in the states. Getting Klavdy and his bike sorted took all the time out of the daylight. I was many miles from home, on forest mountain roads with no lighting. And I had a tinted visor only. I had to slow for corners as the single beam shoots forward when you need the beam to sweep into the curve. The amount of light and ability to see the road and surrounding area was quite good.

No Dan, no problem with heat at all. My headlight has no off switch so runs all the time the key is on,  I ride year round and summer in Australia gets very hot. The bulb has been fitted for two years now but have a spare if it ever fails as they come as a pair.
I don't ride at night so can't comment on what it's like in the dark, but was surprised one dim foggy morning getting ready to head off to work sitting there idling on at how bright it was shining on the tree next door, did a few high/low flicks and the penetration on both beams was very good, even when taking off the beam was clearly visible on the houses and trees across the road. I have video of it taken from my dash cam but since photobucket changed have no way of posting pics or videos.

Hey Tony, I'm a believer of Murphy's Law, the less moving parts the better...
Your choice for LED looks interesting, with that big heat sink, can you fit the dust boot with that bulb?

Cheers

Pat

[Bones]

I had to modify the rubber boot a bit to fit it, but yes it's on there Pat.

If your 93 is like my 95 (before it was nicked) the headlight switch is there but with the outer part of the switch (the bit the thumb pushes) has been removed and blanked off. This was an ADR requirement at the time requiring daylight HL running). The switch on mine was blanked off with black Silastic which I was able to dig out. I would normally ride with the HL on but if I needed to switch it off during maintenance, for example, I could do that with a small screw driver in the slot that the thumb bit would normally occupy. I was too lazy to source the outer switch bit and fit it.

My right side switchblock is only about an inch wide Crusty and solid plastic, just wide enough to fit the kill switch and start button. The left one is two inches wide with horn button, indicator switch, high/low switch, hazard light switch, and red pass lever. (headlight flash). Strange how your later model had that fitted when mine hasn't.

The headlight switch is in the left switch block. The 91 is an Australian model. The 95 mentioned earlier was a Japanese grey import. They were  identical except for the modified HL switch.
Here is a pic of my 91 model with the black switch slider.

I have that same switch on mine but it's for the hazard lights. Where yours says lights mine says hazard. They must've used that same switch for different purposes.
