New Technology: LED Headlight Replacement Bulb

SpudRider · 08-06-2014, 11:51 AM

LED headlight bulbs have recently increased in brightness, and lowered in price.

I discovered the Cyclops LED headlight bulb, and learned many riders are using this bulb, and like it.

You can learn more about the Cyclops LED bulb at the following thread.

However, the Cyclops LED bulb costs $60, and I don't want to pay that much.

Then I discovered the following thread.

Searching eBay, I learned a variety of vendors are now selling the Nao M3/Moto3 LED bulb, which appears to be virtually identical to the Cyclops LED bulb.

The LED headlight bulbs sold on eBay cost about $20-$25/ bulb, and this price was acceptable to me.

Therefore, I placed an order for the following bulb, and I expect it to arrive this week.

After the bulb arrives I will experiment mounting it in my Zongshen 200GY-2, Honda CRF250X, and Honda XR650L. Needless to say, I will report on bulb fitment, bulb brightness, and the bulb's effectiveness in illuminating the road at night.
