Honda ST1300 LED Headlight swap F2 / H4 |
There is a lot of information on the web about LED headlights for the ST1300. The technology behind them has been getting better as time goes by. September of 2018 is when I placed an order with Amazon for "F2" type H4 style bulbs. A thread on st-owners.com pointed out what the current status of the bulbs were. The cost was about $25 per bulb for the "Safego" version. IF I had wanted to wait AND deal directly with China, I could have gotten them for about $38. I preferred dealing with a US distributor. Warranty issues are much easier to take care of when you don't have a 12 hour shift in time between parties. |
The "ring" is removable by simply pulling it forward. The included instructions say to remove the ring then install it into the vehicle securing it with the wire clamp. The silver ball in the picture is the "detent" which locks the bulb shaft into a hole on the ring, as seen above. |
This is the rear view of the ring with the tabs |
With the ring removed, the tabs can be cut off and filed. |
