I just installed a 24w 6 LED light in mine, but haven't tried it out yet. I think it may require a visor to keep the glare from oncoming traffic? It seems much brighter than the 55w halogen.

No idea about how bad is the glaring from these LED's , best to test it before you take it on the road as blinding the oncoming traffic can backfire at ya  painful

Yes exactly what you need for daytime riding , set of nice LED's , coz there is no way that the 55w h4 would cut it especialy if it gets little cloudy  asking for it

Funny stuff, Frosty!? But the main reason I did it was to reduce the amp draw, so I can run my electric heated gear!  listen up

OK, I am confused. There are two of you that have installed these kind of lights.. But these are LED right? that means DC voltage? I thought the stock stator is only AC?
How are you guys doing this please?
Thanks

All staters produce AC but after that some versions namely U.K./Europe and rest of the world have a rectifier behind headlight to give DC. North American versions are simpler and just have regulator and that's it listen up

Hey thank you for that. I am still confused. So the UK versions have a rectifier which changes the current to dc. But the Americans have just a regulator? What does it regulate and how would I go about installing a few of these leds? I am thinking I would get one 36 watt and one 18watt so 54 watts total.. I am thinking the bigger one (12 leds) as a "flood" and the smaller (6 leds) for a spot? Or should I go the other way around?
I see people putting 55 watt bulbs in running the stock stator. So these two lights should work right?
Thanks again for the info.
