    Dude, you actually made this video. I thought you were going to actually wire something. I installed an LED 3yrs ago on my vrod. The shop I took it to to change my tire decided to "HELP" me because the hi low wasn't working. Now no headlight and I don't know the original wiring. 😢😢😢

    Good vid. I was able to install front and rear LED turn signal lights and LED brake light on my 88 Honda NT650. Have you replaced your instrument cluster bulbs with LED's? I was told the reason my signal indicator does not work is because it's a regular style bulb and needs to be an LED. My oil light still works so I didn't know if this info is correct. Any thoughts?

    Hey Alec, how are you.. 😊
    I'm looking to upgrade the headlight on my chinese scooter, it's a 2016 Znen Legend.
    The headlight and bezel looks similar to this one in the vid but I'm not sure if it is plug and play like yours, as long as I get the right size replacement I can just splice the wires right?

      @RevivalCycles  Рік тому +1

      If your current headlight is a 7" light then yes, this should work just fine. We're not too familiar with the specific scooter you have but in general most headlight plugs are universal.

    Is it possible to just switch the bulb? I don’t see why not but I’m just searching around now

    • @RevivalCycles
      @RevivalCycles  2 роки тому

      Yes, depending on what bulb type your motorcycle uses you can purchase LED bulbs as replacements but the downside is they are usually pretty big due to the heat sinks on them and sometimes they don't fit into certain headlight buckets. They can be pricey for good one as well. This specific headlight in this video is sealed so there is no bulb to replace.

    How many lumens does the luminous flux have?

  • @Savage-lx5yj
    @Savage-lx5yj 2 роки тому

    How is the current controlled?
    How much current does the light draw?
    Does the light contain a fan to cool the added resistance built into the light?
    Thanks

    • @RevivalCycles
      @RevivalCycles  2 роки тому

      Sealed LED headlights rarely if ever use fans for cooling. The headlight specs are below. 😘
      2D1 High/Low Beam
      SAE DOT Certification
      Voltage - 12.8
      High Beam 22 Watts Max
      Low Beam 10 Watts Max
      Expected Life Span 15000Hrs

      @@RevivalCycles Wow! Those lights are awesome!
      All the led lights I've installed required resistance.
      Simply installing an led usually results in heat issues, wiring issues, lights blinking, bulbs popping, relay or ECM issues.

    My problem is that my supermoto powers the headlights via the alternator, and not the battery, so at idle the headlight barely comes on, and blinks which is really annoying and unsafe

    • @Mylity66
      @Mylity66 Рік тому +1

      Hello, I think that can be solved using a (very) simple voltage regulator circuit before the headlight. All you want is to smooth out those voltage peaks, that can be done with a voltage regulator and a capacitor. If you know anyone that has any experience with electronics (even some guy that repairs TVs and such) they'll help you out.
      It's quite simple, small, and you can literally pull all the components needed out of some junk electronic.
