Well after a crap ton of swearing, getting pissed off, and wanting to punch my bike I finally got the LED headlights in.  One of the Damn plugs just wouldn't come out.  Let me say holy crap the Honda OEM bulbs are hot crap compared to LEDs.  So much more light output.  Can anyone recommend a good set of LED bulbs for the fog lights?  Those are the only major lights I have left to replace on my Bike.  I also still have to convert the Instrument Cluster, but that's not as important right now so I will deal with that one last.

I replaced the Halogen Bulbs with 50 Watt, High Performance, H3 LED 360 Bulbs in my Spotlights.

I used Pathfinder Part No. HC350W, Pure White I think they are great! Also, the new bulbs will have a lower load on alternator.    :cooldude:

I'm going to look at adapting a set of Add-On GL1800 driving/fog lamps for this.

How are the light output on those two?  From what I can tell the OEM H3 bulb is kinda Small and those LED's look a tad Longer then the OEM thus might mess with the light output.

Yes, I had to clip off the two bottom tabs since a normal HE and the Honda ones are a tad different.  Also you will need adapter ring to make sure the lights sit right.  Slight pain with the small amount of space you kinda have to work with but honestly wasn't that hard.
