plug in LED https://advrider.com/f/threads/led-headlight-bulb-replacement-modules.948701/

non-LED  

I use sylvania XtraVision  which lasts over twice as long as the silver star at a much lower $$ and both have the same Lumens max per law.  sliver star is better at night due to higher color temp.

Phillips listed as better than the sylvania.

If a standard or tourer forget a bulb and get josh's adapter and put in a full LED headlamp. Thats what I did and she is bright enough that you might have planes trying to land on top of you 2funny

these brighter bulbs are a good idea but after looking at the Phillips brand locally the brighter say 100-130% vs. say the 30% brighter ones, according to the back of the bulb pkg,  the life expectancy in hours goes way down as well.  Just an fyi that I saw on the pkg, not sure if true or not?

this is a no brainer (for me, I guess, since I don't have a brain!)
https://www.cyclopsadventuresports.com/Cyclops-100-H4-LED-headlight-bulb_p_192.html

I have one in my Triumph and in my Valk.  Pure white light.  Very good pattern, very bright.  Low current consumption, runs cool.  On high beam, the throw is HUGE.
No modification, no brown and crispy headlight connectors from running 100/130 watt halogens.

Is this bulb a plug and play, or is some wiring required ?
