Installing headlamp bulbs

Also, I recall (from my recent install of Cyclops product - both their LED Hi/Lo and LED parking bulbs) that it was a matter of wiggling the parking bulb holder left / right (with a long-nose forceps) and pulling. Installation was also problematic in that it never did feel like they seated positively (attribute that to my pudgy fingers) but have not displaced themselves in subsequent riding.

Having LED for all ends up with a nice white overall - don't have the various shades between Hi/Lo and parking bulbs...just my compulsiveness showing, I guess...Wink

No need to remove panels to install the H7 bulbs, but I may have to do that to change the parking lamp bulbs. We'll see ... I'll mention that in the video where I successfully change those.

Agreed on going all LED makes for a nice uniform white light.

Let me ask this ... with your conversion, what happens if the LED lamp fails? Its not like you can to to the Autozone and buy a replacement while on a road trip. That is the one advantage of sticking with standard bulbs, unless you can simply remove the LED lamp and put in a standard H7 to get you by. Can you do that on your setup?
