@@AdamSVT i know its been a few years. and idk if theyve changed much. but i just got a set in today. after i got them in. ive noticed the brights dont really project further down road. they just kind of center the beam. is that how yours are as well? or did i do something wrong?
@@followmetothemorgue kind of. So after doing more research. (After spending pretty much 200 dollars on these.) Halogen housings are designed to project light from a full bulb. Not just a 2 sided led. So yes these are a crap ton brighter. But they won't project any better. But in fact. They'll probably give you less light spread. Not saying I don't recommend these bulbs. But unless you have a housing designed to spread the light from a 2 sided led, I would just buy some higher quality Halogen bulbs.
Man, I've been dying to upgrade my yellow tint looking headlights for a long time but didn't know which bulbs to choose. In the video you put a note saying you can remove the base of the bulb to avoid cutting the boot, what does this base consist of? that's not the cooling part of the new bulb is it? Thanks!
ive got a quick question hopefully you or someone can help me with. so ive recently purchased and installed these lights. and it seems that my left headlight is pointed way to high, its clearly lighting up oncoming traffics face in pretty dark conditions. the right headlight is pointed pretty well center. i know they dont move independently vertically from eachother, so im curious if its just me or if its a common issue. its a 12 striple r 675 driving in the u.s. so my thinking is the left should be pointed slightly lower than the right, but it seems drastically higher.
Please report back if there are any heat issues with the bulbs down the line. I've heard of bulbs from various brands and types getting too hot and melting headlights. Had that issue with my projector lights on the 955i when I put regular PIAA halogens in. Nice to find reliable brands to go with.
Each time I had the headlights running for a decent amount of time I felt the headlight buckets and they will cold.. I can't say for sure that they aren't running hot but the fans are pretty robust.
I'm struggling with a very similar bulb on a street triple of the same kind as in the video. I can't put the whole thing back together as the extra wires and box take up too much space. That's sadly not shown in this video where and how exactly it got tucked to....
Do the headlights overheat?where does the heat from the led fan go? Read some people had problems with the headlight housing due to overheating.did you have any problems?
nope.. been riding in the crazy heat too.. almost always on high beam during the day and they are flawless. I assume the heat gets pushed out of the back but I understand what you are saying that there isn't much venting from the back of the headlight unit.. but.. it's perfect and one of my very favorite mods.
The exact same upgrade I did to my Street Triple R. They are the *bomb* you will dig them. I recommend also swapping out the crappy running lights to a LED light also. It's a killer setup.
thanks dude! You mean the city lights at the bottom? I put some Phillips LED in those.. they match nicely.. the yellow incandescent just wasn't cutting it..
Yes, those are the ones. We totally agree. Fun watching you go through these mods - judging from your content over the years, we have similar taste. Love my 13' Street Triple R!!!
dafobra perfect thanks! I grabbed some 194s from the store that are nice and white. I did have one last question, when my lights come in and I install them do I need to do any adjustments to the beam pattern or were you happy with how they were out of the box?
Thanks for the video. I'd been leaning towards installing auxiliary lights on my STR, but I think I'll do both! Bright headlights and some floods down low?! No deer surprising me anymore or cars failing to see me! These are plug and play, no adapters?
That's going to be plenty of light.. I'll be honest the headlights are one of my favorite mods to date.. they make the bike much more visible during the car to other vehicles.. and they throw a lot of light...
no.. I did not make any changes to the bike from stock. As a matter of fact, charging system voltage is the same on high or low beam and is at stock voltage.
Hey Dafobra hows you lens for the bike? I have a 2012 and my lens are cracking and the only thing I can think of is the headlight bulbs since they are on all the time. Just wondering if this is happening to you. Also how’s the leds doing? Are you having any issues with the fan and the heat sync since it’s enclosed?
The flash to pass lights are part of each dual filament H4 head light bulb. If you mean the smaller bulbs in the headlight housing (I think they are called city lights or something as they are only on when the parking lights are on) those are #194 bulbs in LED. I went with Phillips brand bulbs and they worked perfectly,
FYI guys if you make this upgrade, the LED light will be scattered all over the place from the stock reflector housing, and you will just be blinding anyone in front of you, even if you're on low beams. LED headlights need to be in a projector housing, or else they scatter light everywhere.

Thank you for this detailed step-by-step! Helpful videos like this make the internet awesome for us motorcyclists!
I asked my dealership how long would they take to install this and they said 3hours so that's $330 in labor. WOW, this just saved me money. Thank you!
wow.. 3 hours maybe taking ones time.. but that's a good amount of labor.. if you are good with tools and like doing it yourself go for it!
Added bonus of Dafobra getting a street triple... I don't have to search for cool mods, he'll do it for me! lol
LOL thanks buddy
shadetree surgeon exactly how I feel

Looks much better! How’s the venting though? Asking because everything is stuff back in the stock housing.
How are they holding up? I have wondered about overheating due to no fresh air being circulated by the fans in the headlight buckets.

That’s a nice clean install. The best me is coming along nicely. 👍🏽
Thanks broski.. more on the way to get ready for this season... I'm waiting to see what you roll out on the Monstah!
Do they generate less heat? I've noticed my headlights get really toasty on my STR.

MotoErgoSum I’ve had Cyclops for over a year and haven’t had one issue. I highly recommend their products dude
Each time I had the headlights running for a decent amount of time I felt the headlight buckets and they will cold.. I can't say for sure that they aren't running hot but the fans are pretty robust.
I was going to ask the same thing. Looking to upgrade the bulbs on mine soon, but wanted to make sure there wouldn't be heat issues.
so far so good.. I'll let you know
Awesome video! After a slip on, this is one of the last mods I see myself doing to my Striple!
One of the best "how to" videos I have ever seen on TH-cam! Thanks
thank you! THANK YOU! :)
Been thinking about getting LED bulbs but was worried about the boot, glad to see it's not too huge of a deal.

Sorry.. it was tight but it all fit in. Your bulb might have a slightly larger rear fan section.
That machine just gets better and better. Nice!!!
it's slowly making it way towards a perfect bike to me...
It's perfect to me
Hey what is the difference between led auxiliary lights and led headlight bulbs?
Great video, thanks! I just upgraded my striple too! Excellent upgrade. Just curious, do you know what size the mini bulb is?
I believe its a 194/168

Which T10 lights do u use with the H4 headlights?

dafobra what size Phillips LEDs did you put in?
Hey Scott. They are standard push in 194 LED bulbs. If you want I can get you a part number and brand as I still have the package.
dafobra perfect thanks! I grabbed some 194s from the store that are nice and white. I did have one last question, when my lights come in and I install them do I need to do any adjustments to the beam pattern or were you happy with how they were out of the box?
do you still own the bike? Any issues?
yes I do! No issues whatsoever. one of my favorite mods.
Great video! What's the longish term review? How did they hold up? Any issues?
No issues at all. One of the best mods I have done to date.

no.. I did not make any changes to the bike from stock. As a matter of fact, charging system voltage is the same on high or low beam and is at stock voltage.
Great install man. Look great!
thanks dude.. the LED city lights are so sweet.. Thanks! I'm going to mention them in an upcoming video
dafobra awesome. Can't wait to see them! Bet they look awesome on that bike

I ride 2011 Speed Triple and just had my headlights replaced under a recall, check w dealer if it applies to your bike
Looks good, hope for warm weather for us.
thanks! Friday supposed to warm up big time here! Slowly but surely we will get solidly into spring... but not soon enough!!!
When buying them from your link.... do they come as a pair or do I need to purchase two?? Great mod.
They are sold individually. Thanks!
hey what about the pass lights ? do you prefer any LED for that ? nice video by the way.
\
What about the park lights? Which bulb should i use for the running light?
The flash to pass lights are part of each dual filament H4 head light bulb. If you mean the smaller bulbs in the headlight housing (I think they are called city lights or something as they are only on when the parking lights are on) those are #194 bulbs in LED. I went with Phillips brand bulbs and they worked perfectly,
@@AdamSVT do you mind sharing the link to those 194 bulbs?
@@AjayDas-kh8pcI think it’s these

How have they held up for you overtime? Nice bike btw, I own a 2013 Caribbean Blue Street Triple ABS aswell :)
they have been flawless... one of my favorite mods. nice bike to you as well!
Loving the new thumbnails and leds!
thanks buddy!!!
Hi Great vid. Can you show them lighting up and unlit road?
Well done,
& definitely a must,
Sweet Choice!
thanks brohamm!
Nice! I have change both of my bikes to LED headlights. So much better.
LED is better.. draws less power, brighter and love the color.
That's why I like them!
Cool I got mine from creed I didn’t put them in yet I’m doing them this weekend 👍🏽
Four years later, how are these holding up?
Last I checked they were doing great. I sold the bike about 2.5 years ago though.. but the guy I sold it to never had an issue.
What did you do for the smaller headlight bulbs?
those are 194 style LED bulbs. I got them from Amazon I think
How’s the beam pattern? Would it be glare for other drivers?
The beam pattern seems to be much like stock but brighter.. I rode twice during the day and once at night and nobody has 'flashed' me...
@@AdamSVT Have you shined the light against a wall/garage door to see where the cutoff is and how sharp it is?
led are the shit!!! lol bought $32 amazon led and they are still going strong after a year
WIll this work on my street triple R 09, This has the round headlights
Will they work with my 2012 street triple?
I’m not certain, but I would think so. I believe the 2012 and 2013s have similar headlights don’t they? It was tight but they did fit in my 2013.
phenomenal video thanks
Where can I get a pair of lenses as mine have melted😢
Yikes! Try facebook marketplace
That is brighter I'll have to upgrade the lighting on my busa
yeah they are great and they don't blind other drivers day or night as far as nobody has flashed their lights at me.. lol
how is the cutoff? looks glary
might be a bit glary but its not as bad as most... I love them
Excellent guided video.
Thank you very much! I’m glad it helped.
Shine bright like a diamond!!! =)
I didn't remove the battery and my fuse got fried.
well that sucks...
Arent these to blind for passing cars?
You high on lemonade dude ? :))))))
Arthur Bidian lol motorcycles make me giddy
Sunglasses needed😎
Ummm, the latest, greatest from Cyclops is now the 10k LED bulb.
yep... I saw that.. I'm more than happy with mine but I might swap out my buddy's older Cyclops 3800l for the 10K
That's what I did a few days ago, bought the 10K to replace my 3800. Great minds think alike.
The only worry i have about these is thatt they might be blinding
I can understand that.. but in the 6 months or so on the bike I've never had anyone flash their brights at me... love them
FYI guys if you make this upgrade, the LED light will be scattered all over the place from the stock reflector housing, and you will just be blinding anyone in front of you, even if you're on low beams. LED headlights need to be in a projector housing, or else they scatter light everywhere.
