I pulled off the HID headlight bulb that I had installed several years ago on my Honda Pacific Coast PC800. While the light was good, I was never very happy with the color. Also I was having some trouble with noise on the tachometer sense line for the fuel injection conversion I’ve been working on. I figured the HID system might have been introducing some high frequency noise to the bike.
Removing the HID system required me to take the windshield off to gain access to the area above the headlight housing. I made quick work of removing the HID system from the bike.
There is a little voltage regulator and controller that comes with the LED headlight. I zip tied it to the front structural member. Not too hard to do. Also this kit doesn’t require any new electrical wires run to it (the HID did).
The light looks really nice and white when it’s turned on. No spilled light anywhere. Not too bad!
Great light pattern. I’m looking forward to testing this out at night once the ice melts a bit. For those interested, this is the light: http://www.cyclopsadventuresports.com/3800-Lumen-H4-LED-Headlight-bulb-_p_83.html
I have a very similar light but had to take it out due to it not having a beam pattern. It looks like you have one in the picture. I was wondering if you had to do something specific? Thanks
Hi Scott!
All I needed to do was aim the bulb. Depending on the generation of light if it is a Cyclops brand, the older ones didn’t have as good of a beam pattern compared to the new bulbs. It might be worth upgrading.
Cheers!
