LED Auxiliary Lights

[Return to Riding]

I got the Model 30 LED spot driving lights from Sanjoh and I received them on the third day. I polished the stainless steel brackets so they look really cool. I installed them low where there used to be reflectors. Easy install because my bike (Yamaha Raider...gasp) has an auxiliary driving light switch already wired in the headlight bucket. I aimed the lights so that I can leave them on all the time but they still outshine my Ultrastar bulb low beam. I'm very happy.

Here are some shots of the lights:

http://www.superbrightleds.com/morei...amp/1187/2798/

is there any difference from the one I bought from ADVmonster? ... As far as out eyes can tell the light output seems to be the same when we are doing night rides wuth our bicycles ...

Looks very similar to the ADVmonster product. The major difference is ours is WATERPROOF. After testing prototypes in the rain and water, they would stop working so I worked with the manufacturer to develop an improved gasket/seal.

Winter is coming, I will take him out one of these rainy days

G'day John,

Have read your post where you said my lights had traces of burning on the circuit boards, possibly from cheap HID lights.

I am running a DDM 35W system on my main headlight only, probably not the best quality HID on the market, but others on this site seem to be running them with your lights with no problems.

The model 44's are connected through a PC8 fuse block with a relay and a Cyclenutz mini switch to turn the lights on and off.

How is this voltage spike occurring. Does it happen on start up, because the lights are only turned on after this bike has been running a couple of minutes or does it happen during the running cycle of the bike.

I had a chat to a mate of mine who is a auto electrician and told him my problem and he said to me that my 44's are running through a separate fuse block and relay and I should have no problems.

Both of us are scratching our heads on this one.

Worse comes to worse I will install a HID50 unit into my bike which I have had taken off my previous beast, all I have to do is change the globe to a H7 and I will see how that goes.

I wont re-install these model 44's on my bike till I get this sorted, I don't want to damage them again.

I hope you can clear this up for me.


Simon.

Hello,

Looking to see if someone can help me piece something together for a 2010 Harley Road Glide? These lights look AWESOME!!

Thanks!!!

What battery does that light run on and what is the connection on the battery (deans or other)?

Hi Simon,

HID lights use AC downstream of the booster box. In some units it can be as high as 35,000 volts. The voltage can leak from connectors and/or through deterioration of the wiring insulation.

After troubleshooting an HID setup I had a few years back, I took them off the bike. Unfortunately the noise took out the OEM clock and fuel level sensor.

Some folks have had no issues, I have seen several LED lights that have been cooked by aftermarket HIDs, which is why our warranty does not cover installs with HID lights.

Uses a lithium ion which is also waterproof. It can run off your motorcycle as well. Here is one side of the connector:



Connector is waterproof but designed to come apart so wiring is not damaged.

Shouldn't a large zener diode (plus resister) in line with the LED voltage solve this?

Anyone using the headlight replacement kit? I am thinking of adding one to my husky.

Also, Sanjon, can you sell the headlight replacement kit without holes drilled in it? I think I can get two lights in there. Or can you make a custom one for me?

Thanks for your business.

Get one, you will be amazed. Every customer thus far has been extremely pleased with the drop in and shocked by the light output. Everytime I turn on the high beam I laugh

Two lights will not fit in the stock husky setup. I do have the KTM drop in which will fit most 4" square headlight masks, and it will take 2 lights!

If you ship me a mask, I'll make a drop in that handles 2 lights as long as there is adequate space.
