LED head light
 
Can anyone recommend an LED head light to get from Amazon

What bike is this going on? What type of bulb is in there now? H4?

If it is a Hawk or Hawk like bike my wife found these and we installed them

I can not attest to their quality since we haven't run our bikes yet. I think she found them recommended by Motocheeze or possibly on this site, I can't remember.

There is at least one youtube video for install which is pretty good.


I installed mine before watching the video and did it a slightly different way, but they both work!

Yes it's a Hawk and it's a H4

The one j0nny216 has link will work. Any LED light will be a big improvement over the stock bulb. The one I have works great but is no longer available.

I bought this one:

Seems to get the job done. I had to install it 180 degrees from what the instructions recommended to get the high and low beams to shine correctly.

I cannot remember which on I got on amazon. It is way better than the stock and the pair was cheap. I would recommend one similar to BBOWL10 got from superbright leds They are top notch.

Pretty much any quality H4 LED will be better than stock.

Let us know how long it lasts. Quality has been an ongoing issue with LED replacement bulbs.

I have the other version of that same fanless bulb from them in my Hawk. There is no "recommended" angle with them, but they can be installed upside down if you aren't paying attention to what direction the cutoff shields are facing on the front/low beam arrays. In order to stop the light from shining on the lower part of the reflector (aka where the high beam shines) they should be on the bottom of the bulb when installed. The rear arrays have no shields, which is why they are used on the high beam.
