Hi,
Has anyone managed to do an LED headlight conversion, sucessfully?
My mincers are not good in low-light anyway, but coupled with the very average main and 'glow worm in a cup' dip, night riding is becoming embarrassing.
Cheers

im going to try one on my zxr400 when it all gets put back together, you need the heatsink + fan ones, about 3000 or so lumens will do it, the only issues ive seen are reg/rec issues due to the decreased load your reg/rec needs to dump more excess power as heat and that can cause issues.
the reviews ive seen show a big difference, but ive not tried any yet.
you will also need to modify the headlight boot to fit around the bulb heatsink...they really are odd looking things...

I looked at direct LED replacements for the "standard" 1992 RU halogens a while back and didn't find anything without making modifications.
Looking forward to seeing what you come up with

Thank you both, I'm still in the early stages of investigation. It looks straightforward & vaguely interesting.
