Nice job. It is nice that in these LED bulbs one can unscrew the bottom part. it is always a pain the bend the clips in order to fit aftermarket bulbs. However, I see no real reason to put the spacers. Why spacers? I don't see how it makes any difference.
Nice video. The LEDs are pretty and appear bright but are they actually brighter at night? Do they cast a wider or longer throw? I've seen elsewhere when halogens are replaced by LED's and the reflective lens doesn't work properly in conjunction, the LED may appear brighter but actually cast less light at night.
I mean, I do see an advantage to put spacers, but more for different reason. So when you screw the bottom part of the LED bulb, it does not press against the clip, which is often a cause of the clip disengaging. I also see no reason of cutting the OEM connector, even though it does look cleaner. One can just fit the LED H7 connector to the OEM one.
without spacers, the rubber cover would be pushed deep into the lamp, this could cause the cover to slide off and this could cause leaks to the lamp when riding in the rain. The LED bulb gets very hot when they work and that was another reason to use washers to keep the distance between the bulb housing and the rubber cover. I cut the OEM connectors to keep everything hermetically sealed in the event of a leak
i will make LED conversion on headlights this winter on my 2018 Versys 650. I know that those waterproof connectors (which I can buy on aliexpress or in local shop) I can disassemble on few parts (plastic frame, steel/silver/gold/copper connector, and little rubber seal) is it same with OEM connectors? if I can do that with OEM connectors, than I don't need to cut anythig, I just need to disassemble "male connector" desoldered wires from connector, and than cut H7 connector, and put there OEM "male connector". So I will have intact original wires (uncut), but I will have original connectors which are waterproof.
@@malizec7793 it's your bike, so you can do it your way, I had problems before with my other bike where after ride in the rain lights went crazy so I'm very cafeful about that.
I don't have this motorcycle anymore, I replaced it with a new SE model but I used this lighting without any problems for 3 years, of course I set the lights a little lower because the lamp housings were adapted to ordinary bulbs and not to LEDs
Thanks. It's hard to say, but I suspect that it is not possible due to the construction of the frame and fairings. you would have to make a custom frame for these lamps, but it's probably not worth the money.
Great video ! You definitely know what you are doing. Plug and play doesn’t work for led bulbs? You need to do all that job? Generally I prefer to use cold light halogen bulbs. Easy to install and great light too. Cheers!
@@tootingcarmoon532 I set it up later, when I was doing another MOD, so the fairings were removed, but apparently it can be done without removing the fairings
Love this video and the one for undressing the Versys. I tried the link for the lights. Could not find any motorcycle references for the lights, just cars. The link didn't take me to the lights you purchased. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks. Unfortunately they don't have/sell it any more, you can check this shop www.ledperf.co.uk/h7-high-power-led-conversion-kit-p-11585.html?gclid=CjwKCAiA6bvwBRBbEiwAUER6JSWcOkrBfmomoz92Erp6x6ULdIN2f7MnA_cCeXjk8i3KuesLCc3rFhoCNngQAvD_BwE
Hi @MotoAndy, very nice video, my bike is a 2016 Versys 650 and I already order the turn lights you recommend in the other video, in this case, I´m confused because you recommend H7 LED 6000K bulbs and Philips T-10 Philips side markers lights, but in a comment below you put a link to another type of LEDs, can you please clarify so I can order the right thing. Thanks in advanced and pura vida.

That was my personal experience of switching to Led

is it compulsory to cut the dust caps to be able to install a set of LED lights?
Andy really amazing work, i have the same LED on my V1000 MY2018, pure light.
Still holding up?
And how is the beam pattern,bet you had to put them down!
I don't have this motorcycle anymore, I replaced it with a new SE model but I used this lighting without any problems for 3 years, of course I set the lights a little lower because the lamp housings were adapted to ordinary bulbs and not to LEDs
Excellent how to do video.
You put a lot of effort into it.
Do you think that kit would suit 2015 Z1000SX.
Thanks. It's hard to say, but I suspect that it is not possible due to the construction of the frame and fairings. you would have to make a custom frame for these lamps, but it's probably not worth the money.

Hi .. love your videos .. I watch them just before I do any work to my versys .. can I ask how you knew which wire to solder to the red wire .. thanks
Thanks man. You need to check with a multimeter
Why didn't you adjust the aim of the headlights? As far as I know, when you change the bulbs, the aim will be out of spec.
I did adjust the aim, it's just not on video. Ride safe
@@MotoAndy ah, fair enough. Was it possible to do with the fairings mounted?
@@tootingcarmoon532 I set it up later, when I was doing another MOD, so the fairings were removed, but apparently it can be done without removing the fairings
@@MotoAndy got it, thanks for the reply.
Just beautiful video, work and lights!
I was thinking of do something with the lighting, and no I know how to do it. Thanks!
Your welcom 🙂
Sweet Mod. Keep them coming.
Can you not just use the existing plug rather then cutting and soldering.
yes of course you can.
GREAT WORK.. I WOULD LIKE DO THIS ON MY BIKE..
Is possible put both medium lights work together?
yes, it is possible but I never planned this DIY so I don't know exactly how, look on the Versys forum

Have you changed the turn signals to LED?
Yes

Great video, what was the cost? The led white light matches the spot lights
Thanks, everything together cost about 130€
Great Video. Great Mod .Could I ask what LEDs you used

Thanks
You make excellent videos sir. Shame it couldn't change the one eyed look at the same time.
Thank you sir😀
Merci pour la vidéo,quand puis-je t'apporter la moto...?😁

4000lumen 6000-6500K, but you can decided yourself which kolor of the light you want.
Very good
Link of the products
Unfortunately they don't have this lights any more
Very beautiful 😍
sad modification, is better always have original parts and avoid cut or change the oginial parts
Sad conclusion, Better to be visible and safe on the road than lying dead with original parts strewn around. Stay safe.
