I replaced the stock bulb on my 2007 Yamaha V Star 1300 with an Opt7 H4 LED bulb per Dbest1A's recommendation. It was a pretty easy installation and I highly recommend it over the stock bulb. I apologize for the OE bulb demo, I didn't check the orientation of my cellphone camera, bear with me there is still some good info on installation instructions.
NOTE: At 8:37, I installed the OE rubber boot back on, do not do this as it restricts the air around the LED housing which needs to breathe due to increased heat. This is why the bulb has the heat sink on the back to help dissipate that heat! I later realized this and removed the boot, plus it also makes it difficult to install back into the headlight.
Thanks for watching and ride safe.

I used this last night when I had to change the headlight bulb in a dark spot and didn't have my service manual with me. Knowing how many screws were involved instead of having to fumble around blindly like an idiot was helpful. I never would have found the two on the bottom of the housing in the dark otherwise. Thanks for showing that in the video. It saved me a ton of time.

Is the oem bulb a h4 bulb? Like the tundra has? My tundra has h4 bulbs and I converted them to led’s and kept my originals would that same h4 fit in my 2007 v star 1300?

@AnthonysWestTexasRides 11 ай бұрын

Yes, it if is an H4 bulb then they should be interchangeable.

Do you have a link of the bulb you used? I have a 2009 VStar that I'd love to replace with LED's!

What does the "Can bus" adapter do? I just bought an H4 led bulb but it comes with the 3 prong plug but no box like yours.

@AnthonysWestTexasRides 5 жыл бұрын

It adjusts to your vehicle/bikes electrical system to keep a steady beam and can eliminate any code errors that is commonly found with HID kits.

Nothing yet, and I have checked recently to make sure that I couldn't see anything that might have been getting hot/damaged. So far everything is working well to date!

You put the boot on wrong. I just bought an LED kit, similar to yours and these bulbs have two small screws under the metal ring with three prongs. This is supposed to be taken off so the boot can go on properly. The way you have it will cause the bulb to overheat and possibly allow water to come in. Just a heads up.

Jeffrey Martin I will check it, I need to pull the chrome piece where the key goes in and paint it to knock the sun glare down. I can use that time to recheck everything! Thanks
