Had a search and failed....

Can anyone point me to the right ones on ebay?

Also is it an easy job to get them changed?

Just do a search for these: W5W 501 T10

Easy to fit. Remove cover from under bike headlights (four rivets).
Pull out holder
Insert LEDs
Switch power on and make sure LEDs light up
If the don't remove, twist 180 degrees and insert

I would add, don't get the cheap ones. They don't last.

LED's now fitted, and they look great.....now the main H4's look dull.

Not much in here of late about choices... although these have been mentioned a few times....Ordered off ebay for £15.50 with free delivery

Ring Xenon max   :cool:

Did think about it, had HID's on a few bikes, but I've come  to the conclusion that I rarely ride the thing in the dark, and even in winter now the latest I'll be on  the bike for return from  work is around 4pm ... so don't really need blindingly good lights... just some that are a little more like the colour of the new LED sidelights   :cool:

Asif, you need powerful LED, otherwise your bike being so dirty, it would blend with roadside banks, perfect camouflage I might add !! :mfr_lol:

I use hyperlite.com from the US, very powerful, made in good ole'USA, expensive but second to none customer service.

Asif .. Bryn  .... you say "don't get the cheap ones" ... I looked up the code as given and they were about £3 .. is this right and if so how much are the "expensive" ones ?
Fitted the Osram headlights a short time ago and they are amazing but of course the 2 small running lights looks dirty and yellow in comparison so want to change the small ones too !
Thanks.

Bryn


Rusty

That's all I need to know .. thanks old fruit .... just going into the link to order !  :cool:

I've gone for these... not the cheapest , midrange, and they have the flat terminals rather than bits of bent wire....

Nice and bright too

The cheap ones go after a while. You're best spending about £7 - £10 for a decent set
