Bulbs burning out

[Bravodeuce]

Mine came with the wire looms coming out of the back of the housings and going under the cover on the front of the bars. If you look in this loom, there are "bullet" friction fit connectors, so you shouldn't have to cut the wires. You should be able to just unplug and remove the stock light socket.

The 4411's are sealed beam, so there is no socket for them. It's glass and all, and they fit the bar like a glove. Mine had screw terminals, so I just made a jumper wire to go from the "bullet" to the screw terminal.

Attached is a picture. (I know, I know, I should have used black and red wire, but yellow is all I had at work, and I'm too lazy to change it out since they work so well. ) I had to resize the pic to a reasonable size, but you should be able to see everything you need to know about.

And thanks, zukirob, for warning us of the wayward ways of electricity. I haven't had any issues with the extra amp draw, and to me the extra 10 watts each are well worth it. Makes a big difference at night, and it's definitly more noticeable during the day. I leave mine on all the time, and no problems yet.

Oh yeah, and the bulbs really don't care about polarity, so you can hook up the positive and negative on either side and it really doesn't matter.

If the picture doesn't show what you want, or if you have any questions about my conversion, feel free to drop me an email.

Good luck, Jerryzuki. And may you keep the rubber side down.

Thanks Bravo! It doesn't get any clearer than that. Great picture and description. I got the bar installed last night (thanks Eric for quick shipping, I order it Monday) and will run the stock lights until one of them blows I guess. From what I've read that won't be very long.

Quite a lot have just switched to Honda bulbs and had good life with them.

Just an update, 16,000 miles later, the 4411's are still going. Always on, and no problems.

Good to hear they'd last me at least a year.

Another update.

Still going...
