Why the resistance, that heats ? Is that just because system would not accept the led lights without it ? Does it mean it consume as much energy as standard turn lights ? THks for nice tutos
I didn't want to take the bike apart that much for this tutorial, but you're right, a better relay set up for low draw LEDs would probably be the more efficient way to go.
Sweet upgrades, and suuuuper educational! Thanks for shooting this, man! :D
Which bulb did you use for the W3W to match the new H4? 🤔 Did you notice a difference from the old one?
The best I've found is the Osram LED as it doesn't fail and flicker like the eBay ones.
@@AaronCocker Thank you! Was the new H4 Night Breaker an improvement over the stock one?
@@MikedeBelle definitely, do your research as I'm sure there's something better in the years since I put this video out.
@@AaronCocker sure, thanks 😊 I only came across your video yesterday and the OEM light is a bit pants. Thanks for the video though 👍

The bike will sense if the current isn't high enough, like a bulb would be, and will hyper flash. Resistors are the best way around this.
It looks great.
Did you do any video of buying the bike, first ride etc?
Why am i asking this? I will go look.
I didn't at the time, I could do more videos with the bike on the road at some point.
Thanks, very usefull info
@2:30 this little twat lmaooo joke aside very useful video, about to change my 21 S with a brighter bulb and this is exactly the video I needed!
This was so long ago now, no idea what I was saying, not that, but it does sound like it 🤣
Resistors ?? Nooooo. Just change the relay. Its like 5 dollars hehe :) 10W LED relay 12V
