Default LED headlight bulb from Fuel Moto

So, I installed the Fuel Moto FM-A6K Moto LED H4 headlight replacement bulb. $70.00

straight forward installation, it comes with four adapter plates and a spring. Does not come with instructions.
I used the adapter plate that matched the old bulbs back plate, it twist-locks into place, then put the bulb in just like the sticker. (No spring needed on my ‘97 FLHR.

It’s a little odd hearing a tiny fan operating when you turn on the ignition switch!

Stock bulb low beam


Stock- high beam


LED -low


LED - High beam

One more thing, clean the inside of the lens and reflector plate with glass cleaner, rag and screwdriver... mine was very fogged over on the inside!

I installed from them a few years ago and like it, my ultra has the 3 and I did each one.
Good for night time riding.

I like the replacement bulb and yea the fan is a little unusual but you get used to it.

Question though. Is it me or is there no difference in the pic's with the led Hi and Lo?

I think you are correct, pattern slightly different but 99% the same, mine is a lot more than his is. Higher and brighter.

From the photo, it doesn’t appear to be much difference but the high beam is much brighter. Also the photo is only showing the light cast at about 15-18’ away into the door.

I’m going on a short road trip this week, I’ll probably be out after dark for a bit, so it’ll be interesting to see.

I may upgrade the spots too, but I rarely use the “ditch lights” so I’m not sure it’s worth it. I’m guessing there’s something available to convert them from the sealed beam units to LED bulbs.

When I upgraded the spots I had to also get the new lights to accept them and I got them at the dealer for $69 for the set.

I’ll check with my local dealer on that, kinda odd looking to have the headlight and spots a different color!

You obviously don't live in a state with potholes big enough to swallow your entire Harley....

Haha, Virginia and NC roads are in fairly decent shape, but the Blue Ridge Parkway has its share of sizable potholes. Maybe it’s how mine are adjusted, but they don’t do much on the roadway... they light the ditches on either side, helpful for seeing the deer and critters!
