I have just fitted these Novosight (nighteye) bulbs to my 2016 RS Sport SE £38 on amazon plug and play no error on dash or Nav and excellent light. |

Zitat von 06423RS im Beitrag #17 You have to contact the manufacturer to be sure. LOTS of places selling LED bulbs use the wattage number because consumers don’t understand lumens or color temperature. Helpful packaging will use the terms people are familiar with and put the science stuff on the details. Hence “100w warm white.” The H7 can’t put out 100 watts. It CAN put out as much lumens as a 100 watt bulb. In reality, it likely draws no more than the standard halogen H7. After all, it is designed for a 12v system. Keep in mind that these bulbs use a driver and heat sink to dissipate heat generated. So it probably uses a small capacitor to get more “wattage” for the LEDs…just as an HID system would use ballasts to get the vehicle’s 12 volts to the level needed to ignite and run plasma bulbs. It will be a while before consumers see 10 watts as being the same as the old 60 watt bulb (taken off of a package I have at home).

Zitat von 06423RS im Beitrag #17 they do some 60W LEDs units as well. The canbus is expecting a current draw of 55W from a standard H7 bulb. The LED unit needs to mimic this current draw, usually bleeding that current via a resistor, generating heat. I suggest you try the 60W units labelled for motorcycle use https://www.novsights.com/collections/h7-headlight

Thanks guys. |

So…I purchased them and fitted a few weeks ago. I’ve not ridden in dark yet - just pre dawn/dusk so it’s hard to tell exactly the range/spread BUT they are hellishly bright! Wow. I commute in LA traffic and have the full beam on when on freeway and/or lane splitting (filtering) and they have made a big difference in terms of visibility and being noticed. They needed some height adjustment. Very pleased so far. No downsides at all. |

Zitat von 06423RS im Beitrag #21 Yes they probably look like that in the daytime because they are chucking out light in all directions rather than the light being controlled as it would be with a halogen bulb inside a reflector that was designed for that halogen bulb. When you ride at night then you will see where the light is goings and it might not be where you want it!

Zitat von derricka im Beitrag #8 Following on to my concern regarding overheating . I have just seen a picture posted on Facebook of a damaged Headlight lens. Could this be from using LED bulbs???FB_IMG_1679979562393.jpg - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte) Ridesafe! be seen |

Zitat von Foz2967 im Beitrag #14 I fitted these as well but have a front light error on the dash??? I also changed the sidelight bulbs to led I wonder if it is these that are causing the error? They are supposed to be CANBus compatible. My OCD will not allow a warning on the dash so will look into it further and let you all know. Paul |

I also installed a pair of the Novsight H7 LEDs and within a couple minutes I get the headlight out error on the dash. They are going back. I've been dealing with someone named Ivy. She's been very helpful and understanding. I can't really fault them. They said the bulbs were 99% Canbus compatible. I guess the RS is that 1%. I also installed the small marker lights https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0821GVXB3?psc...product_details and they continue to work well, with no errors. |

I fitted these novsight a while back & the bike threw up the warning after a few days, but switch off on, error disappeared. |
