New Style Pathfinder LED H4 Headlight Kit for Interstate

[DragonRdr]

Has anyone ever switched their headlight bulbs to the Pathfinder LED H4 replacement kit on their Interstate? After swapping out my turn signals and tail/brake lights, I was looking into LED Headlight options.

Thanks

I just use the LED bulb replacement. They work great but interfere with radio reception. Some upgrades have filters, mine didn’t. Someone on here explained it, but years ago and I don’t remember the details. I don’t use the radio that much, but is anoying when I do.

Thanks, I believe the Pathfinder LEDs have the filter built in but I'm not sure. When I checked out the bulbs on the Superbriteleds web site they recommended a load resistor. The link is below. Also, their bulbs are more expensive than the Pathfinder.

That would be me, and if you search this board for Daymaker RFI you'll find a nice writeup on how to fix the problem. Including pics.

I looked it up and now remember, makes more sense to me now. Thanks bagger John.
