Thanks for this video. This was very helpful with the 85 Rebel I just got. Nothing concerning the headlight was correct on it. I just finished installing the same headlight and all is well, thanks to this video 😎
I bought the same housing and the same light just orange and wired it right up !! The bracket is a little tricky but like u said with a little bending it went on. I’m no mechanic and did this all thanks to your video !! Thanks a lot man. This light is impressive!!
I wanted to do more at night but it started raining and it’s gonna be raining for the rest of the week so I just got what I could. Definitely a lot brighter though. Feel safer about it at night
You should be able to just swap a regular bulb so issue. If the high beam isn’t working it’s possible the high side is burned out or there’s an electrical issue with you switch on the high beam
The suggested chrome bucket looks like it's more dull then the pre-existing bucket on my 85 250 rebel. Is there a bucket that will match the Chrome I currently have?
I’m not entirely sure if you would or not. The LED is way less consuming than the stock halogen bulb so it’s less draw on the system but I haven’t had any issues since upgrading the light
Have you tried swapping wires yet? At first I had my wires wrong and when it was on regularly it’s was on high beam and when I switch to high beam it turned it off. It’s possible your wires are swapped like I did for mine. Try that and if it doesn’t work then you might want to try and return the headlight for a new one. Possible it’s defective
Mine didn’t come with an adapter. I just read you had to do some soldering to make it work. Can you tell me what you soldered together? I have a 87’ rebel 250. I’m going to repurchase one with an adapter.
@@treyblk1417 the adapter that mine came with I ended up cutting off. Basically just soldered up the wires that would have connected with the adapter. Since the bike didn’t have a plug I tested by connecting the wires together first to try it and then once I confirmed it worked I soldered them together.
@@treyblk1417 you can see what I mean around 6:15. I mocked up the wires to test first. That’s where I cut off the adapter and soldered those 3 wires together
@@aaronmarshall4904 another possible fix other than replacing the relay could be adding resistors in the line for the turn signals. My truck had halogen bulbs. I upgraded to LED but caused hyper flashing. You just add a resistor to the line and it stops that
