CB550K3 LED lighting Upgrade.
Ashdowner:
Has anyone upgraded any of the lighting to LED? With electronic ignition I am drawing too many amps with the H4 halogen headlight on and see LED's as an energy-saving option but also improve the lighting. If so what have you done and what kit did you use? I've looked on the many websites but find some confusing info and find it hard to identify what bulb to use.

I used this kit that I got from eBay, and I'm happy with it. I did, however, replace the standard headlight bucket with a Lucas one at the same time, so not sure if the fan would fit in the standard setup. I could check if you're interested.

Hi Mr. T. I'd be grateful if you could check the space please and send me the link to the e-bay page so I could look at the cost.

Did you measure how many amps?

I have not seen convincing results yet, on the contrary.
Why not simply choose the Philips H4 Ecovision. Gives you better vision than standard H4, lives longer and draws 20% less.

I'm currently away from the bike until Friday but will have a look when I can.
