Yes that is important......the charging system on the 454 is only 17 amps, so it will not handle very much. Do you know what the amps, draw the light is???

The max power consumption for this is 24w. The normal h4 phillips replacement bulb is 60w. So it's less then the original halogen bulbs.

Ok, so one quirk i found so far, the headlight indicator turns on under throttle, guessing it's getting more feedback from the led power supply than it should, and also the highbeam led flickers under throttle while turned off.
Now I did do some electrical troubleshooting. The high beam power at the bulb connector, even when off, delivers a steady 3v dc, under throttle it is outputting 5-6v. Is this normal? This is without the led conversion plugged in and no bulb, just the bare connector.

So i had cyclegear replace the led unit, and put inline resistors on the wires. Still having the voltage issue. Could it be my reserve lighting switch is going bad?

You may be having an issue i ran it with another bike. The consumption is so low that the bike thinks the bulbs blown. Resistor should have fixed it. May also need a diode in the system. I don't have the lights wiring in front so cant really give you a diagram. It would make sense if it thinks the low beams blown your tripping the reserve circuit. I had put an led on another bike for the dash lights and it was so sensitive the oil pressure light trips. Back to a standard bulb it went off. Its the one problem with leds. Besides the small issues your having hows the output seem?

The outputs amazing. Am thinking I may try and convert everything to led and get rid of the reserve lighting circuit. But thats a project down the road. Am sick of fixing the turning signals.

When you install LED turn signals, you will have to change the flasher unit to an electrical unit....most auto supply stores have them.....I think it is number EL13.....there should be a post on it in the forum.

Hi, I don't understand the term reserve lighting circuit. Im interested to find out how your project turned out. Hopefully you had some good luck!. It would be nice to have a little power in reserve for other projects.

The reserve lighting is a power distribution for lighting. Its located with the electrical under the seat.
