Hi all,
I've just noticed [MENTION]Schoopce[/MENTION] mentioning that H4 LEDs are plug and play with H4 halogens, which is great.
I want to swap a set of 55/60w halogens for LEDs in these dual headlights (dominators) that I bought for my Fz6n (2007).
I'm worried the dual halogens will draw too much from the system, and I also prefer LEDs. Does anyone know if a pair of H4s LEDs will be fine on the bike? I've read HS1s are dual filament like H4, but consume less power.
I have very rudimentary theoretical knowledge of electronics (read none outside of wiring stuff) but I've managed to replace my indicators with LEDs + flasher, and built a decent isolated accessory circuit that turns on with the engine and runs a phone charger, heated grips, daytime lights, and a heated system I stitched into my jacket. Runs perfect.
I ultimately want to keep this an inexpensive project since I've no real budget for it. Amazon is great but it's expensive here in Australia, so for me it's basically AliExpress / Banggood or bust. There are a TONNE of LEDs on those sites which is great but it makes choosing the right bulbs hard. I figure LEDs that cost $30 are better and brighter which superior light dispersion than those that cost $10 (I generally filter by popularity and then look for something that's popular and cost a bit more) but that's not a great metric.
Thanks for any help! And a preemptive thanks to Motogiro who seems to be everywhere
