Hey.

Anyone using Led bulbs inside oem headlight?

Something like this:
126W/piece http://www.ebay.com/itm/H13-9008-25...ash=item43f723c23c:g:XuMAAOSwYIxX~vtH&vxp=mtr
or
90W/piece http://www.ebay.com/itm/2X-PHILIPS-...ash=item3d2a748bda:g:NZUAAOSwImRYHD0a&vxp=mtr
or
80W/piece http://www.ebay.com/itm/2x-160W-16000LM-H13-LED-Headlights-Lamp-Conversion-Kit-PHILIPS-Chips-Hi-Lo-Beam-/192033024871?hash=item2cb60f6b67:g:XQkAAOSwgmJXzzz-&vxp=mtr

I was wondering how much wattage can you draw from the stator to not burn it.

With those amps would probably have to use relays and battery.

Any ideas?

Well I'm no expert and I have no experience with led lighting on these Sleds, but I'd imagine as long as you stay with the factory values in terms of draw you'd be safe. Led *should* draw less power so in theory you should be able to use a more powerful bulb/output and still remain under the factory electrical draw.

Hopefully someone else more knowledgeable chimes in here. I've been interested in led lighting but for me it's cost prohibitive because I just don't ride at night much anymore

Problem is they are saying they draw 80-126watts a piece. That is more than a factory headlight draws. Kinda funny as it looks like it has a heatsink for a resistor built in, wonder why they would use such a big resistor when most bulbs are 55-65watts.

I have used many cyclops lights and they are all a very good quality product.

I put cyclops led bulbs in my 04 pro-xr and they really brighten up the night!

They would not be plug and play... factory is AC power to headlights... LED's run on DC power...

You would have to rectify the power going into the new bulbs.
