    Led headlights

    Hello. I’ve brought a LED headlight for my Suzuki UZ50. It fits perfectly but has little to no light when I start it up. With revs it gets slightly brighter but it’s no where near as bright as even a normal bulb. Just wondering what’s wrong and how I could fix it cheers

    You might need to alter the electics to make it work properly...
    A quote from a website I know nothing of: "However, XenonPro explains, you can't simply replace a halogen bulb with an LED assembly. While there are conversion kits available, they have a few drawbacks."

    So it was a straight swap, no changes needed to the wiring? Have you checked the voltage at the bulb? If there is 12V across the bulb, it should be at full brightness. LED bulbs should have a constant light output above a minimum voltage, which is usually much less than 12V.
