LED bulb replacement

I've recently updated my dipped beams to LED lamps and am about to do a similar thing to the main beam. Difference for the dipped is pretty impressive.

Question then is what do I need to bear in mind if I were to replace the tail and brake lights, AND the front and rear indicators in a similar fashion?

Any pointers welcome.
Thanks.

 

If your 6th gen VFR has the factory installed regulator/ rectifier you may want to "bear in mind" the understanding that the LED bulbs use significantly less current and because of that the r/r will be stressed to dump the excess.

 

Also, the reflectors in the headlamp housing are optimized for the position of the filaments in stock lamps. LED's are in a different position than the filaments so the patterns on the road won't be the same. I went through all this on my 2003.

 

Ooh .. I suspect the bike has the standard stuff, is there a solution that will remove the problem that swapping to LED bulbs might create?

 

Good point. I haven't tried it at night yet, so unsure what effect they might have.

 

I have the Termitor H7 (low) and H13 (high) LEDs, they seat properly and have a good beaten zone, just be aware the high beams have plug adaptors you'll have to pull from the OEM bulbs to plug the H13s into the harness. also, you absolutely need an 847 RR to handle the changes.

 

Roadstercycle.com for a Shindengen 847 A rectifier upgrade. It’s a rectifier that can just supply whatever the load is rather than the old type which shunts the excess to ground . All this keeps your stator cooler. Get a mounting plate from Mellodude on here. Get an extra foot of wire for the stator connection.
Or wait for your stator and rectifier to both grenade and replace both. Stators are $330 OEM. Also add a voltmeter to the motorcycle and you’ll always know what’s happening with the charging system.
