- This video is to show a diy how to led headlight upgrade with some tips and tricks on most Honda sport bikes.
H11 led bulbs I I used from Amazon:
AUXLIGHT H7 LED Headlight Bulbs,... www.amazon.com...

What kind of of leds were those?
Auxlight H7. They're in the description.
Thanks. My bad checked description after I commented.
can i have update about the light ? is it still going strong?
I’m still using them! They are bright and still work well. I haven’t come up with a solution to fit the factory dust seals but I park in the garage and don’t ride in the rain mic so I’m not worried about it. Im very impressed for how cheap they were.
how are they holding up?
So far so good! I can’t say I have a ton of hours on them but the visibility is great and the fans are relatively quiet.
Do you have any problems with cooling of bulbs? Did you find any solution for blocked vents by dust cover?
Not so far, the bulbs stay plenty cool as they are now. I have not come up with a solution, I honestly will probably just leave them as they are now unless it causes an issue. I have a friend with a VFR800, 929, and a ZX10 who has upgraded to LED and he has no dust covers and has had no issues in the 2 years he’s run like this.
@@ProjectTimeDIY Thanks for answer. So you ride with dust cover on and the bulbs stay plenty cool right?
@@wojciechsajdak4158 no problem! I actually have been riding with them removed and have had no issues, there would be no airflow at all if I left them installed and heat will kill LEDs
Everything clear. Thanks again!
H11 on the right for high and H7 on the left for low?
They were both h7 for me
It's happened the same when I buy the led for my cbr 929rr I was thinking send me wrong one but later they explain the stock harness need be remove from stock light and put the led....
Yeah, I’m glad I googled and figured that out before returning them lol!
@@ProjectTimeDIY but the high beam take few second to turn on the led compared alogen
@@themarvelousvintage76 the LED comes on immediately for me. Once I plugged everything in completely it came on instantly and brightly
@@ProjectTimeDIY yes but the high beam the low beam turn on right away try the high beam I change all e the high beam take few seconds.....
Is a relay needed for this? Swapping from halogen to led
No, just a simple plug and play upgrade to the LEDs
I ordered these and did a little wiggling for my 02 f4i. I didn’t realize you could take that backing plate off I did a lot more then needed to get them to fit perfectly.
Removing that complete plastic piece would have made your life easier
So those aren't meant for this cbr?
They are meant to be universal, this bike was never designed to have LEDs but it is a nice retrofit
Were they 6k lumens
Yes, they are 6000k bulbs. Very white and not blue, just what I wanted!
I did all that before, put sulvania led fog lights they were blinding 😂
I had to do a lot to rig them up and make it so that they were secured and water with the dust boot. It ended up being too much trouble, after having them in for about a year I switched back to the old halogen bulbs. They pop in and out easily, easier to replace doesn’t mess with the water tight. In fact I switched all the lights back to stock. I had leds everywhere bought the most expensive integrated tail light I could and it was starting to burn out. It’s just not worth hassle imo
I’ll take reliability instead.
Lol yeah, mine have really good output but also a good cutoff line so it doesn’t blind oncoming traffic. Every other light on my bike is stock halogen and I currently plan on leaving the rest. The no dust boots isn’t a big problem for me but definitely something to remember if I ever decide to park outside for any length of time in bad weather.
The voltage regulator is now overheating.
That’s not good, I’m not sure what would cause that as LED lights should draw much less current than stock halogens. Unless you have a short somewhere in the system of course.
I was chasing an electrical fault with the headlight bulb in my 2002 Hornet S for nearly a month. The main headlight itself appeared to be causing a big voltage drop. Replaced rec, replaced Stator, new battery, new bulb. I also replaced wiring and even chopped out connectors and wired stuff direct. Problem still existed. After nearly giving up, I decided to try a different approach and I bought an Osram direct plug and play LED. To my surprise the problem went away. Now I say went away because I’m convinced it still exists, but the LED draws a lot less power and certainly gives you way more visibility at night. I know I’ve a good rec and stator there if the LED causes issues, but so far (4 weeks now) so good. Here in Ireland I have the ability to turn the lights off completely or just run the small “side” light (which I’ve also upgraded to LED). I’m interested to see how it goes now in Summer as I had some shops tell me the LED would fry most old Honda recs quickly whilst others said they will be fine. I do have the newer type rec installed (fins for cooling) plus the stator is from a 2012 Honda so I’m hoping this will help keep mine in order. Time will tell but I think it’s funny that the LED actually appears to have improved my electrical system. Be interested to know others experiences with LED’s and blown recs and did they go back to Halogen or upgrade the electrical system to handle it?
@@ProjectTimeDIY Perform temperature measurements of the voltage regulator first for the LED, then for standard lamps. At the same engine speed. You will see the difference in temperature.
@@ProjectTimeDIY The voltage regulator converts the excess energy of the generator into heat. Thanks to LED lamps, a lot of additional energy is obtained. Therefore, the voltage regulator is heated.
