This is the best option, although I dealt with a different guy rather than Cindy. Shipping to Canada was not a problem.
New G6 H4 with SHIELD is now availible - no glare no scatter.

1. Buy the LED Headlights.
2. Remove the rubber covers from the headlights.
3. Remove old headlights
4. Separate the LED Headlights from the holder(base)
5. Install the holders (base) after removing the two bottom tabs (like you have to do with any non-standard H4 bulb)
6. Install the rubber covers over the base, without the LED headlights in place.
7. Install the LED headlights through the rubber covers, into the base. (look through the headlight "glass" for proper alignment.)
8. connect the wires up and zip-tie them up, out of the way.
There you go, instructions how to mount the LED headlights!

From in front of the bike, reach under the head light to replace the light bulb. You will have to rotate the handlebars to move to forks out of the way....

Thanks. Sounds like I can even do it.
1a. Disconnect wires from existing headlight bulbs.
Sorry ... I just had to include a missing step.

Or, as I had to do while on my trip to replace the LED (one was out), pop the mirrors off, remove the windshield, windshield cowl and instruments and everything is right there!From in front of the bike, reach under the head light to replace the light bulb.

Hi All: I have looked and may have missed it but has anyone tried these new advanced LED lights with a modulator and if so, what were the results?

Yep! Not good for one set/bike and still working on the other bike.
Go back to page 23, my posting at 226 and start looking at my posts from there.

Actually go to this thread: LED Headlights and non LED Modulator Update

Does anyone know if I can replace the H7 bulbs in my Hella FF50's with the Evitek H7 LED bulb?
I don't know but let me guess. First) high-wattage LED bulbs tend to be longer than the halogens they replace so fitment might be a problem. Second) I wonder about the fan's efficacy in an small enclosed space. Some of these bulbs don't use fans but strips or loops of what looks like flat braided wire as a heat sink. I don't think those would last long.
I'd like to see some Evitek LEDs to replace some H-1 bulbs in some auxiliary lights. I've yet to put them on because they're 55W each. I'm looking for an LED bulb with a fan. Fitting in the housing will be a concern.

OK, well could you please let us know when SDC comes out with their LED compatible modulator?
Many thanks,

Are there any tabs that need to be depressed to get the 3P socket connector? I thought I just pulled them off last time I changed them. They don't want to come off and I'm pulling pretty hard.
The OEM bulb sockets have tabs that need to be squeezed to remove them. I forget if you squeeze at the front or the back of the connector.
If memory serves the tabs are on the sides of the connector. Somewhere on this site there's a pretty good pic of the socket and the tabs...
Found one:
If you rotate the socket 90? clockwise you'll have it in the position as connected on the bike.

Yes, there are tabs on either side of the 3 pin connector that depress when you squeeze it between finger and thumb.
