New Technology: LED Headlight Replacement Bulb

[kirkallen143]

For those of you that have done a successful install, are the colored wires as follows: white--low beam, blue--hi beam, and green--ground? I have mine installed this way and "lighty no worky." I do have a rect/reg wired in single phase with all instrument grounds isolated to the neg (-) side of the battery only. Only the rect/reg is grounded to the frame (one of the yellow wires coming from it, other yellow goes to stator). Maybe it is just a bad bulb, just my luck as always. Thanks and appreciate any help.

Welcome, we are glad you joined us. I'm sorry to hear you are having problems with the LED installation.

Yes, the wires coming from the LED bulb are color coded in this manner.

Blue: High Beam
White: Low Beam
Green: Ground

However, the Cyclops LED bulb costs $60, and I don't want to pay that much. Then I discovered the following thread.

Searching eBay, I learned a variety of vendors are now selling the Nao M3/Moto3 LED bulb, which appears to be virtually identical to the Cyclops LED bulb.



The LED headlight bulbs sold on eBay cost about $20-$25/ bulb, and this price was acceptable to me. Therefore, I placed an order for the following bulb, and I expect it to arrive this week.

After the bulb arrives I will experiment mounting it in my Zongshen 200GY-2, Honda CRF250X, and Honda XR650L. Needless to say, I will report on bulb fitment, bulb brightness, and the bulb's effectiveness in illuminating the road at night.

Spud, do you know the stator´s wattage output (zongsheng sierra)?

No, I don't know the wattage output of the ZS200GY-2 stator.

Thanks for posting the update.

That is the shorter, compact version of the original bulb. I just installed the same LED bulb, from another manufacturer, in the headlight of my Zongshen RX3.

I am very happy with mine.... it transformed a worthless headlight housing into something halfway decent.... I would love to see a pair of these in properly shaped/focused reflector housings instead of a $30 ebay POS....
