LED lights

I thought LED headlights were already beaten to death on this forum? The upshot being that unless your vehicle was designed from scratch for LED headlights, don't use them. NONE of the "Drop in replacement" bulbs are approved for use, and (in the US anyway) aren't even legal.

Directional and marker lights are a different story and shouldn't be a problem as long as they have the right "resistance" for the CANBUS. If they don't, then they won't work either.
 
I understand resistance is correct to make them truly drop in. Have asked about H7 myself as they were installed in a bunch of 1200GS bikes sold at dealership.

I got resistors to avoid canbus errors. They get stupid hot which I don't like as placement is an issue. Even though it "worked" getting LED clusters that fit and are bright enough was something I never resolved.
