Love it. Where I live there's hogs, deer, and other varmints that get on our roads. You can never have too much lighting. I have a 2002 Valkyrie with some extra lights I though lit up the road very well. After seeing your set-up my old Valk ain't nothing.
Hello Chris ..this is EMMETT..U.S.M.C..great video on the headlight installation.. it also helped me to install the speakers as well because when I WATCHED YOUR other video on upgrading your speakers.. you did not go into detail on how to REMOVE the panel to get to the speakers. Which was truly what I needed to see ..so,. this helped a lot ..but I ALSO wanted give you a heads up.. because electrical connection was not too happy with you ..for not contacting and letting them know that you were going to make videos of their products and they would appreciate you CALLING them to let them know.THAT you would like to make a video on their products reason being..when you make the video the buyers start to call in and they quickly run out of stock of the item you were doing the video on.. causing electrical connections to have a large backorder problem for the customers especially for this US Marine.. so just wanted to give you a heads up when doing your videos of their products. To please let them know in advance that you would like to do a video on their product so that they can get ready for the large orders, for that product so they can keep their inventory full .and not have a large waiting list because of back orders..so just wanted to let you know Chris.. I finally received my Bluetooth connection from electrical connections and we'll have to go back to your video for the install.. 👍👍👍👍👍
Just did my install, new LED bulbs are a great improvement! A few comments: CW= Righty - Tighty, CCW= Lefty - Loosey, Heat sinks tighten w/ a CW turn. ;-) I was able to do the install without removing the upper dash panel. I have Medium sized hands and it was tight until I got past the top of the fork head. I'm right handed and for some reason, I had more trouble doing the left bulb vs the right bulb using my left hand. Go figure. Using the wooden stick is a slick idea, but I actually reattached the clip on the right bulb without using it faster than with it. Again, go figure. I used "industrial strength velcro" for attaching the power regulator. It was too tight to try the heated screwdriver trick (for me anyway). Zipties are definitely better, tho. Hooking up the wires was easy coming in from the front of the bike. Very happy with the improved light output! Don't think I could do the high beams though, too tight! Thanks, Chris!
Sorry but led low/high bean are not better. They might be brighter but not deep...I prefer my high beam little yellow but way more deep down the road especially if I speed a little, no doubt about it
I'm doing my high beams now, did the low beams no problem at all. I cannot get the high beams to be tight, even with the clips installed I get a wobble, what am I doing wrong? I have electrical connections lights for high and low beams.... Super frustrated..
Hey Chris thanks for great video, I have a 2012 gl1800 and it seems it couldn't fit with the spacer the clip went on Ok without it. Is the spacer. Is it possible its not needed if it installs ok without it? Let me know thx , oops nevermind I found out the problem was the right side of clio did not come out so when I got it out I'm was able to correctly fit spacer it was very quick for the low beams I did not have to take anything apart I just put my hands from top and bottom ..
A minor point- for both removing and installing the heat sink, you said turning it counterclockwise. I'm quite certain anyone attempting such an installation would know that is not correct, I just wanted to bring that to your attention. Thanks for the detailed instructions!
Well hello Chris was watching this install of those LED headlights in have a question you did not state the year on this video of your bike versus the year that we have out here I have a 2009 1800 Goldwing and wondered if the wiring installation is going to be the same on mine by all means let us know that these installs and accessories are for all of the GL 1800 from 2000 to 2020.. and we'll be waiting on your response my friend hopefully you will get this message
Chris, that’s not a piece of wood you use for the head light clips. That’s a highly valuable, specifically designed piece of engineering marvel, or aka “specialty” tool! I use one for my ST1300 headlight bulbs. My teenage son, who rides an SV 650 and a Grom, says; Dad that tool is dope!!! I believe that means he likes it! He also tells me my tool collection is the bomb!! Is it me, or is English getting harder to understand?🤔
Wow chris I just wanted to tell you man you got mad skills brah omg dude seriously you put out amazing content and I love watch N your videos and you have helped me with my own ideas for when my goldwing will arrive peace my man and be safe out there
I Like your videos Chris. One thing I did notice, is that on the LED lights you stated an in correct temp range, its -40c to 80c which is 120 °C range, you mistakenly read it as 40-80°C, or 40° swing. Just figured viewers may think that it is not tolerant to big swings in temps when it actually is.. Thanks keep up the great vids..Dale
Good deal Chris... I put in the Pathfinder LED kit for all lights... important is that Leads are good quality... with them or my Pathfinder I wouldn't have any issues...
Oh and PS Chris you did not state or let us know what kind of electrical power draw on the stock alternator and battery from those new bright headlights..????
smovride they are show chrome speakers, the volt meter is from electrical connection . Here is the link electricalconnection.com/index.php/product/honda-gl1800-f6b-digital-voltmeter-2006/
That bike is on fire! Call fire dept. Always nice work Chris.

Sadly I do not have a Goldwing but still thumbing up. Always appreciate such an indepth How To!
That intro is awesome!
Great instructional video..and who doesnt need brighter lights! Thanks for the info/howto.
I need deep light not necessarily bright...led are brighter but not deep at all

Great video, gives me a good idea what to expect for installation. Great looking bike, too!

Thanks, Chris!
cant wait to install mine i get flashed by cars all the time now imagine when these go in lol . great video
Clean install!(I'm a future wing owner)
Great job Chris
Sorry but led low/high bean are not better. They might be brighter but not deep...I prefer my high beam little yellow but way more deep down the road especially if I speed a little, no doubt about it
LOL Are you speeding at 186,000 mph?
@@photoggenes7443 you the only one that understand what you said!!??
@@photoggenes7443 It’s 186,000 miles per sec. not per hour. But I knew what you meant lol
Here I go buying headlights now. Thanks Chris. LOL

Good detailed video
What kind of bulb life have you gotten with these ? In the low beam position…
Thanks man
A minor point- for both removing and installing the heat sink, you said turning it counterclockwise. I'm quite certain anyone attempting such an installation would know that is not correct, I just wanted to bring that to your attention. Thanks for the detailed instructions!
I'm diggin it. But still not enough lights Chris... We need some aircraft strobes on there also! You'd be the first... ;-)
Looking good brother! Coming down the road looking like the Starship Enterprise.
To do the high and low beams you'll have to get a set of 2 of the H7's correct?
Chris what leds do you have in
Your hi beam sockets? Eclectically Connection H7,s or something else? Thanks for a reply.

2001-2017 use H7 bulbs for headlights.
Was these bulbs cheaper than the pathfinders?
Have you installed LED's for the high beams?
Yes my I put LED in my high beams long ago.
Thanks Chris right on time with this install video. 👍🏾

Lonnie Stephens Lol, English is not English anymore, it’s getting harder to understand
somehow every time I think about upgrading something you make a vid on it Chris, you read my mind from hundreds of miles away. Pscyhic!
Brilliant minds think alike.
Wow chris I just wanted to tell you man you got mad skills brah omg dude seriously you put out amazing content and I love watch N your videos and you have helped me with my own ideas for when my goldwing will arrive peace my man and be safe out there
Hi Chris - very useful … thank you !!
any reason you chose Electrical Connection versus the Pathfinder LEDs ?
I think Chris has the best accessorized gold wing on the road.
Def and he is the King of the Gold Wing......
True
just one of many.
I Like your videos Chris.

Good deal Chris... I put in the Pathfinder LED kit for all lights... important is that Leads are good quality... with them or my Pathfinder I wouldn't have any issues...
I did it today on my 2004 gl1800 . I removed the shelter . Made it way easier.
Thanks
I used to video twice. Thank you again.
Installed a set today. What a difference it makes. Thanks Chris for sharing this video. It helped to make the process of installation easier.
Hey Chris, Love the stuff you do with your Wing. Is there any problem with heat generated by the LED lamp on the rubber boot?
I thought you had the SoCal Pathfinders installed. Why do the switch to EC?
One of my low beams went out, upgraded to Electrical Connection
Awesome job, good detail on the install. I have these hooked up to headlight modulators on mine. They are very bright at night on the highway.
Man from now on , when we ride u are getting in the front,, and I am just going to turn my head light off lol ,, man that look real good ,,
Lights look good and was a great instructional for anyone wanting to install all types of headlights on the Wing.
Hey Chris, I installed those about a year ago, liked the heat sink better than socal
Oh and PS Chris you did not state or let us know what kind of electrical power draw on the stock alternator and battery from those new bright headlights..????
Less
are those low beams in your side mirrors????
Hi bro..
I have 2012...
What is i need for led... h4 or h7?
Please explain in detail.. for both high and low beam ..
I will be thankful....
Maybe late now, but low and high beams are H7.
I will leave my stock ones in.
Nice job of showing how too do it professor Caliente 😁
Chris.. Did I miss a video? I see another new set of speakers with what appears to be a volt meter.. Where can I get those?
smovride they are show chrome speakers, the volt meter is from electrical connection . Here is the link electricalconnection.com/index.php/product/honda-gl1800-f6b-digital-voltmeter-2006/
Something wrong with the LED headlights you already had installed?
One of my low beams went out, so I upgraded to electrical connection.
What is the cost
Super Bright Chris
I bought two sets
Good way to get rocks, hammers, grill of a 3/4 ton truck or pretty much anything that will kill you to shut those lights off
Man you can see Jesus with all those lights. 😉
