Hotrod Posted August 27, 2014 Share #1 Posted August 27, 2014 I ordered a set of LED passing lamps off Ebay,from a seller named Jolli Hack.I must say I am impressed with how bright they are.To look at them from the front, they are brighter than my HID headlight, although I know they do not throw the light down the road as far, but you can definitely be seen better.$125 and $9.95 shipping is a lot cheaper than I could find anywhere else for a pair. I can't post a link, but if you search for Yamaha Roadstar LED Passing Lights,Running Lights,it should pull them up. I ordered on Wednesday night and received on Saturday from New York to Fla.If someone else could post a link,that would be great. I'm not very computer savvy.

Evan Posted August 27, 2014 Share #2 Posted August 27, 2014 I switched from halogen to led on my 88 and man, what a difference. Biggest benefit for me, though, is the improvement in visibility (being seen by others). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted August 27, 2014 Share #3 Posted August 27, 2014 I have been looking to some different options. I just cant justify the over $150 or so for the LED bulbs (PAR 36 type) that go in there. I had bought a pair of adjuree housings that H# bulbs go in a few years back to get rid of the sealed beam jobs. they were better. I installed an HID headlight and man everything I thought was brite white now looks yellow. So I bought some cheap LED H3 bulbs. Not so good, look brite white but not alot of illumination. So now I have ordered some CREE LED bulbs to go in there. So I guess I will see how that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hotrod Posted August 28, 2014 Author Share #8 Posted August 28, 2014 Thanks Mike G. Can someone explain how you post a link on the forum?I have never learned how to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djh3 Posted August 28, 2014 Share #9 Posted August 28, 2014 Bring the page up you want to link IE: EBAY or whatever it is. Put your cursor up there and highlight it (right click) copy. then go back to your post your working on and highlight a word or two. Then at the top of the post box your working in you look for a globe with a chain. Click it and it should open a box and will start with HTTP. Paste your link in there and save.

rmac345 Posted August 30, 2014 Share #12 Posted August 30, 2014 And these fit in an 08 RSV passing lamp bucket??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrod Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share #13 Posted August 30, 2014 Yes, they should fit any 4 1/2 inch spot lamp. I have not rode with them at night yet, but they are very bright in daylight.The pictures are pretty accurate on the website.They make my HID headlight look dim compared to them, and I didn't think that was possible.My stock lights looked yellow compared to the HID.I put them on my Venture with the Yamaha light bar.I am very happy with them so far.

Atoolnut Posted August 30, 2014 Share #14 Posted August 30, 2014 Have you noticed any radio interference on the FM band?... I had to put rfi ferrite snaps on leads to reduce FM interference..still have cb interference with h.I.d. headlight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotrod Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share #15 Posted September 2, 2014 I have not noticed any RFI, but have only ran the bike in the garage with the radio playing. I can pick up all the same stations I normally listen to.Between work,family obligations, and the great Fla liquid sunshine,I have not been able to get in any riding time. I hope that changes very soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calperin Posted September 4, 2014 Share #16 Posted September 4, 2014 How bad was the fit? I had to remove the bezzels I had with the standard. And it was really painfull to make one of them to adjust. Light is wonderfull... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
