Has anyone switched their factory headlights out to LEDs yet? If so, how is the light output?
If I can get the same (or better of course) light output I would switch mine to reduce my electrical draw. I noticed today that when I run my headlights I drop almost 1 volt (I have a digital volt meter mounted in my dash)
I am adding power steering so if I can reduce my voltage draw it is always better.
THANKS

I thought about it and even tried. But stopped because I broke a lens trying to pull them apart. I was going to drill out the hole and put a bullet led light in there and some halos. Never did tho. Bought a LED light bar and was satisfied with that.
I did do it on my Rincon about 5 years ago or so.

I have two "D2" style lights mounted but I was thinking I LEDs would be nice but I must admit I really don't "need" them....

As for your other questions...
Sometimes I think my cheap Walmart flashlight is brighter then the OEM headlights and you will defiantly save power switching over.
If Honda ever releases there premium SxS... I would expect it to have LED headlights. But will they interchange?????

Does not look hard to do, I am just a little concerned with the off road reliability.... Thanks for posting.
Now if they would just get a better bulb
