The best Powersports Headlight Bulbs & Assemblies: Reddit reviews

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Do you have quality lighting? If not I upgraded my halogen bulb to an LED headlight I found on amazon and it made a huge difference.

Amazon link here.

I have the same truck. I put these in, they are super bright and look great compared to stock. Also did the fog lights.

SEALIGHT 9005/HB3 H8/H11 LED... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JNY3ZVZ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Every 12 to 18 months one of my headlights on my truck would burn out. I started replacing both, but since they are always on at some level, the issue still happened. I replaced them with LEDs and am hoping I never have to replace them again. I have a Nichia H600c Mk IV Zebralight headlamp, but never considered looking for headlights for my truck. Maybe next time.

I'm following to see what others say.

I got the day lighter "knockoff" off amazon or eBay for like $60.00 with shipping. Pretty Easy to install looks good and doesn't cost $500.00.

Comes in black or chrome.

Edit my bike is a

2013 forty eight

I am going to assume you are asking about it and if it is worth the asking price. I went with a China knock off and I was really surprised how well it works. I got it off Amazon so if it was crap I could return it.. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01DZU30S0/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_sUtqAbBEJNHQW

I went with this one for $50 from Amazon. Side-by-side, the only difference I can make out with an HD Daymaker is the little bar and shield w/ a light in the bottom-center. I've been running it for a few months now and it's a great light. Also, with Prime shipping, I had it two days after placing the order.

Just saw this on amazon and thought Of this post. Hope the link works

Id highhhhly suggest changing the head lamp to the amazon daymaker. Provides a lot of extra vision and also will hopefully grab the attention of drivers to see you. You will need a different lamp housing. I did however, mash the LED bulb into the stock unit but it took a bit of effort.

It depends on the assembly, the photo's too close to see if the lens is separate from the housing and held on by the ring clamp. It PROBABLY is just held on by the ring clamp and a thin rubber gasket, which means there would be 3-4 screws to loosen on the outer ring to release the lens and access the inside of the reflector.

That being said, putting LEDs inside reflector housings? No, bad. Pull the lens and pick up one of the 5" or 7" round LED replacement housings that fit inside your bucket, reinstall the ring. Way better light output and reliability. Not terribly expensive either, they even have ones with built-in turn signals and running lights - if you're looking for a premium brand to spend more money on the same thing, Eagle Lights iirc does them too.

I also have a ‘21 fxlrs and I bought a headlight bucket, H4 extension, and this headlight. It’s damn good too. The oem day maker is trash.

Amazon LED special. https://www.amazon.com/SUNPIE-Motorcycles-Waterproof-Shockproof-Headlights/dp/B018LXCV4U

Most of the Amazon headlight work fine for the most part.

Or hogworkz if you want something from a reputable brand. 3-5x the Amazon special price but at least you’ll have a warranty.

Any chance you could elaborate on what it depends on? I ended up with these LED bulbs from Amazon and they ended up going in a 2010 Suburban.

It was a pain in the ass to change the bulbs (had to take off the front wheel liners) but I'm willing to do it again to not be an a-hole to other drivers.

Wrong link, here's the right one. I got some kind of package with the high beams, the low beams, and those fog bulbs that I accidentally linked.

SEALIGHT 9005/HB3 9006/HB4 LED Bulbs Combo Package CSP Chips 14000LM 6000K Cool White https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07K43XKDF/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_33RGV0TJ2N4BX9CMHHKA?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

Please replace the full headlamp and not just the bulb. The reflector on your current headlamp is made for the light output profile of the halogen bulb, and just replacing that with the LED bulb will change the overall throw of the headlamp. In fact it can be blinding to the oncoming traffic, and very unsafe for you.

Full led assemblies with reflectors are made with the right cutoffs so that the road is illuminated but the oncoming drivers are not blinded.

The interceptor and continental GT both take 7" dia assemblies, which are easy to find on Amazon etc.

DOT 7 Inch Motorcycle LED... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074PQ8T2B is an example of one that works. They are just $30 more than just the bulb, and are entirety worth the investment from a safety and law POV.

That's a JST-SM. Easy to make your own with a box of connectors and a terminal crimper (need the 2.5mm die), or snip and use your connector of choice.

If you're just adding a headlight and nothing else, there are many that support a wide range of voltages. I used this one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00XVAEP8E

That’s incredibly steep considering the warranty’s only valid for the first buyer, and a brand-new R costs just $195.00 more.

Kanebilt’s headlights cost $36-

I’ve never had that kind of issue with mine. It was so ridiculously brighter than the stock, that the two are hard to compare. I found the one I bought: SUNPIE Motorcycle 5-3/4 5.75 LED Headlight for H arley 883,sportster,triple,low rider,wide glide Headlamp Projector Driving Light https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018LXCV4U/ref=cm_sw_r_awdo_R9NDWKWNCMJ1QAMYE9RY

They looked just like these. Same brand I think.

https://www.amazon.com/SEALIGHT-9005-HB3-H11-Chips-12000LM/dp/B07JNY3ZVZ/ref=pd_lpo_1?pd_rd_i=B07JNY3ZVZ&psc=1

They are SEALIGHT H11 H8 H9 60W 6,000K Xenon White.

Put on a 2008 and my 2011 over a year now. No issues except what I mentioned. I guess the control module sends a pulse to the bulbs when a door is opened and the car not started for about 60 seconds. The LED's pick that pulse up. The light is nice and white, but the housings are maxed out pointing high, the beams don't shoot out nearly as far as they need to. It's a safety issue IMO.

I've considered shimming them but never got around to it. Some years you could adjust too high, but on my 2011 it could deff be higher without blinding anyone else on the road...The adjustment only goes soo high though.

I use this 12v headlight:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B071GCDC33?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

It's so bright I've had people yell at me for it. It lights up over a hundred feet clearly, and makes me visible to people from hundreds of feet away. One thing I noticed between this light and cheaper ones is this has thick heat sinks, and gets quite warm. More heat means more power so I'd hope this light would be bright enough for you. It's also DPT rated so it's really is the lumens it claims.

> They are, I hate it. I’ve tried different bulbs and they all look dim idk why

Have you tried bright LEDs?

For your S10, these cost $60 for 4 bulbs, 14,000 lumen, 6K Kelvin

[LED bulbs for S10[(https://www.amazon.com/SEALIGHT-Headlight-Bulbs-Package-6000LM/dp/B07K43XKDF/ref=sr_1_5?crid=86JW9FUQ1G2T&keywords=s10+led+headlights&qid=1646862995&sprefix=s10+led%2Caps%2C206&sr=8-5)

Also, make sure that the headlamp plastic cover is clear.

Took less than 30min to swap all 6 bulbs. Only did front beams/fogs, no issues. No more yellowish DRL off the hi beam either, which I’m fine with. Here are the links Crosstrek Headlights/Fog Lights
