Guess which side is LED.


From a lower angle on low beam.


High beam and driving lights


High beam with driving lights.


After I finished I discovered my clearance/parking lights are both blown. :|||

Where did Stimpy get those LED ones from?

I cut the two unusable tabs off very easily with side cutters. No need to file. The flange holds the lamps flat.

I had to put a slit into the rubber boot to poke the lamp cable out so I could get the heat sink on.



And a bit out of the boot so the sale would fit around the base of the lamp.

Yes, low beam stays on, so you get twice the lumens. :grin

Last night I turned the bike around in the garage and was super impressed. I didn't have the phone on me, so no photos.

It was a really nice, even light.  Thanks saaz!

they look excellent.  Do they have a cut off line on low beam?

Not as clear as John gets. I'll work late tomorrow so I can come home in the dark and check them out.

They look to be the same as the LED's I have. I ran the wire to the base under the rubber seal, rather than cutting a slit in it, but I just noticed the Cyclops bulbs in the link that LindsayGT posted on the first page seem to have all the wiring going in to the fan unit, so there would be no need to have to fiddle around with the rubber seal and getting a wire through the hole in it or underneath it.

The cyclops link also has an option to tick if an ST1300, so I assume that means that it is a PX43T base as SAAZ mentioned earlier as well. So if that's the case, no need to trim any tabs, not that doing that is difficult.

I guess that you'd just have to weigh up the advantages of not having to slit the rubber seal, as opposed to maybe the extra cost of the Cyclops one, but after fitting mine and fiddling around with the regulator thingy and then the rubber seals, the Cyclops ones might be easier to fit. At least the video they have of the units being dunked in a glass of water allay my fears of the fan unit being a potential trouble point.

I, like SAAZ, seem to have a very smooth beam, and whilst I haven't been on an extended run with them, I'm very happy with the light output and the fact that there are no "artifacts" in the beam that worry me. There is a very straight line at the cutoff point on the low beam so against oncoming traffic, you can see where your beam is in relation to their head height. Makes the headlight adjuster very convenient.

Anyone tried the Cyclops ones??

So today my T10 (W5W) LED lamps arrived.

After taking of the inner cowls, a lot of fidgeting wiggling grunting and :cuss ing, got the parking/clearance lamps replaced.

Off


They are long and almost touch the front lens.

On with flash on


Front view no flash.


I think Pan looks a lot better with all the lights on.

Gary

With a cluster of LEDs on the light like that they should be brilliant.
I'd have to agree, the shape of the four light group look much better with them all on, especially when they're all the same colour.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

The running LED's are similar to mine, and I think that I'm at the limit to the length for fit, but also to the point where they almost want to fall out. This is what I got:

https://www.superbrightleds.com/moreinfo/miniature-wedge-base/194-led-bulb-w-focusing-lens-10-smd-led-tower-miniature-wedge-retrofit-car/1701/4011/

and whilst they look good, I wouldn't recommend them until I've got a few more K's on them and they haven't fallen out!

The light colour does look right though with the H4 replacements and the T10's you've got.

The ones I had before this didn't last that long, and I suspect that these might not be long lasting as well, so the only other ones I was looking at is these:

http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/10pcs-lot-T10-194-168-W5W-6-LED-COB-Chip-Car-Door-Light-Clearance-Lights-Wholesale/430729_2030750719.html

Cheap for 10, so I've just ordered 10 to try if/when the ones I have fail. That's really just negative psychology on myself, as now I've ordered these, the ones I have now won't fail.....

Since June I've used the Osram H4 Nightbreaker which puts out the same as your Narva and quite a few of us also use the adapter rings.

Here's a copy of the Phillips H4LED light
http://www.lighting-led-hid.com/catalog/product/view/id/292/s/x7-pro-led-headlamp-bulb-upgrade-kit/category/120/

Interesting. They even show the low beam cut off pattern I was talking about.
Price is for a pair.

yes look like they should have a good beam pattern. The phillips one has a different shape to the shadow mask for low beam. I'm not shaw about the color temp of 6300K listed by phillips ,
