LED headlight bulb

Will something like this work in the existing headlight fixture?

It should fit and plug in. I don't know how bright it will be and how the pattern will compare to a conventional bulb. Try it and tell us.

Maybe wait until NAPA has the Truck-Lite Phase 7 on sale again. They had it for $159 in December. Their part number is LIT 2720C.

That is similar to the FuelMoto light. I installed the Fuelmoto light (identical, but from different seller) and am very happy with it so far after 2 rides in the dark. It did not fit in my stock 5 3/4 bucket.

Yes, the search is useless but Google works just fine. Even if they track every little thing you look for. Lol

That's the one I was looking for.

Thanks! I like the idea of LED as it draws less power. I tried an LED H4 bulb before and it sucked. It wasn't as fancy as this one. Just a stand alone bulb. The high beam was useless. The light seemed to be a little dimmer than a standard H4 but, for some reason, really lit up street signs way off in the distance. It was a bluish-white light that also sucked. It was a fairly cheap lesson.
