[@peterlamont1533]

@@stevec-b6214 Could it be your bulb holder has fallen down? This happened subsequently to my low fuel light after fitting the LED. It seems I hadn't pushed it in firmly enough.

[@bigtam57th]

Great video Stu. I followed your instructions and found that once the speedo bracket was removed the whole speedo unit pops out and is accessible from above. Much less faff. Keep on keeping on.

[@canadianhienz57]

Wow! It is nice not to be alone in this critique. My C5 was older and the bulb actually burned out and I replaced them with what I had at hand... a funky blue-toned bulb for a Subaru’s corner light. Though not as aesthetically pleasing as a plain white bulb, it was significantly brighter and added a personalizing quirk cementing the 500 as being uniquely mine. Thank you for another very useful video, Stuart!

[@stevec-b6214]

mate - you really need to get out more!

[@kentishman5698]

i have a 2018 Classic Stealth 500, ordered LED's from Uncle Stu's link (only wanted the T10's) last night, they arrived today at lunchtime today! Easy job to fit, So much brighter, Indicators work left and right and warning light flashes. Neutral and high beam work just fine, many thanks for your hard work sourcing these important low cost safety replacement parts.

[@user-en3ev6yw1k]

just completed on my 15 classic , did not even realise i had a blown indicator bulb , must do mod , results are fantastic , thankyou Stuart

[@mekon1256]

I was hoping you would make this video. I bought some LEDS for mine but they didnt work. will be interesting to see what you used!

[@whatsstefon]

Do you still have them? LEDs are directional. Might be worth trying them by reversing the polarity. Worse case, nothing happens.

[@RockDinosaur695]

Just completed this upgrade, very pleased. I found it easier to lift the clocks up out of the cowl and fit the bulbs that way, there is enough wiring to do so. I also upgraded the speedo bulb with the same led, looks great. Ride safe all.

[@sirgalah561]

You still have to take the headlight apart though, then unbolt that bracket.. Ill give your way a go when I find a suitable LED bulb for my indicator light..

[@TheKRU251]

I have a 2003 500cc Bullet (with right foot change) and a 2020, 650 Interceptor but I want to say "thanks Stuart" as having seen the T5 led's on this video I realised they were a probable spot-on fix for a 2015 Vespa PX 125 scooter instruments dim lights. Bought some. Fitted. Ace result. Top job Sir!!!!!!

[@Opaheke1]

First upgrade I made to my 350 classic, NZ gets the 350. Swapped the T10s out for AliExpress units, $3 per 10 delivered. The indicator bulb a bit more $$$ as it had to be a canbus nonpolarity unit.

[@quentingazziola]

What a useful video when one of the lamps on my Classic 500 has decided to stop working! I will replace it with a traditional bulb but switching for LEDs is a really good idea for an upgrade. Thank you!

I changed out the high beam, neutral light and turn signal indicator bulbs today and it is MUUUCH better in sunlight! Speedo bracket out, entire speedo pops out on top. Easier to get to bulbs. Thanks for the guidance and ride safely!

Concur with THE MOOG. LEDs are Polarity sensitive. Turn globe around or switch wires. Works all the time. Cheers.

Not all LED's are polarity sensitive. You can get non polar just need to make sure when you buy. You are correct though, on a polar sensitive switch wire around if it doesn't work.

Another good video Stu, thanks, I changed my Speedo lights to the same LEDs when the back light was constantly flickering when riding, I have big hands but I was able to change the indicator neutral and high beam lamps without removing the cable or bracket, one hand in from the front and fingers in by the side, I'm more than happy with the led backlight on a night, I'm yet to change the abs & fuel lights etc, LEDs on order now!

[@jenspollak3262]

I just changed the bulbs in the speedo and that worked perfect - thanks a lot, Stuart! But in my Classic 500 Euro4 made in 2017, the bulbs for tank reserve, ABS and engine control are not T5 sockets. I have little push-and-turn type bulbs and couldn‘t replace those with the T5 LEDs shown in this video 😰. Have to look for some alternative. The good thing is, in my model the fixing tubes are made of brass and not rubber, all in all maybe a bit more solid.

Nice job Stuart I replaced all mine last year Even the tiger lights Bit fiddly Removing the whole headlight assembly made it easier wish i had done that. The end result is well worth it. The only bulb i havent tested is the low fuel warning Unless i let the fuel run low i wont know if it works. Bit risky ☺

[@1962fulvia]

Thank You! Our own latter-day Jack Hargreaves (remember him?) shows 'How' to do it! I only bought my new Classic 500 a couple of months back & noticed straight away that the OEM lamps were poor. This upgrade will be a welcome improvement. It would be interesting to find a suitable LED main headlamp bulb - this would perhaps reduce the load on the battery, especially on (electric) start up. With the headlamp being permanently switched on, the reduction in heat within the headlamp assembly could be another benefit.

[@mcbob1967]

Oh well, stock bulbs *are* dim; to quote Anthony Burgess, "dim being really dim". On LED replacements this time I beg to differ though. For now. And only for personal reasons. Other Bullet/Classic owners I am in touch with already made the switch and they are happy, and that's all that matters, but personally I will, for the moment, stick with filament bulbs that are closer to the character of the bike. Although I am afraid I will be sooner than later voted out - I had to change an indicator bulb recently and I went to a great deal of trouble just to find it. And I was overcharged, when I did. So. Anyway, I still appreciated this video *a lot*. The Bullet/Classic casquette is really uncharted territory (even with a Haynes manual) due to the hodgepodge of cables, but now I know, in case, where to find what!

[@bsimpson6204]

I’ve changed my headlight for a 7” Hella unit with an Osram LED H4 lamp, the light output is astonishing and it’s very well focused too. Not cheap for the Osram H4 lamp btw

[@KRAM-zb2vc]

Brilliant video as always Stuart and I shall definitely be getting some of those bulbs 😃👍🏻

[@davidmacgregor5193]

Ok Stuart, I've upgraded all the lighting on my 2011 H-D Iron 883 to LED's, they're a lot brighter than the stock incandescent bulbs, especially the headlight. The H-D "Daymaker" was very expensive at £400, I went for Chinese replicas of the stock H-D bullet type with seven LED's at £25 a pair, that's over £100 cheaper than the H-D LED units. I can't understand why H-D fit 3 in 1 LED indicator/tail/brake lights on the rear and incandescent bulb indicators on the front. My old 1977 Triumph TR7RV Tiger 750 used the T10 bulbs for the idiot lights mounted in the top of the headlight, I wasn't aware until now that they are still used on motorcycles.

I have been looking at the 350 meteor but this 500 classic just keeps screaming a me. There are no local shops here in el pas texas. I would have to travel 10 hours to hopefully sit on one or order blindly. So an assistance would be appreciated.

[@michaelpearshouse1100]

Did you consider LEDs for the two running lights each side of the headlight? If so, which bulb did you use?

[@Tubespoet]

Maybe they have always fitted dim instrument lights from way back and never thought to change? And perhaps in their main markets such things don't matter. Anyway it will be interesting to see if the LEDs are long term compatible with single cylinder vibrations.

[@stuartfillingham]

like I said they are solid state so far more robust than a standard bulb.

[@yorkiecol7973]

ok so this is 7months too late Stuart, but T5 bulbs are use on the instruments clusters on Japanese bikes the rubber holders are identical.

[@MrEye4get]

All the instrument bulbs (inside the headlight housing) in my 2021 RE Classic 500 are T10. Replacing a T10 LED in the turn indicator is problematic. It only flashes for one side. If I reverse the bulb in the socket, it will only indicate the other side! Not sure why that is happening.

[@paulhoughtonhhoughton9188]

Stewart, what about the 2 frog lights, would either of the bulbs you get improve em? thanks

[@KevinSmith-jz1nn]

Very timely, thank you Stuart. Its only been since the sun has come out that I have struggled to see the tell-tales. Now ordered from Amazon, but intriguingly at checkout among the "Sponsored products related to your purchase" was a USB endoscope with waterproof snake ....a bargain at £16.99. Which rather begs the question of whether a demonstration will be provided at a future date for the viewing pleasure of your audience. I hope I know the answer to that but a confirmation would set the mind at rest! Back on-topic, does your speedo consistently read 10% under? Mine does and I am curious as to whether its just mine or everyone else's too.

[@stuartfillingham]

all speedos tend to read under, due to potential litigation after speeding conviction's. If they read 10% under and you get done for speeding you have no excuse and can not put the blame on the manufacturer!

Can I just ask, did you have the issue re the indicators as referred to by Leslie Wilson ie in that the flasher light only works one way? Or where your bulbs polarity independent? Whilst asking - there seems to be a lot of noise on you tube re AHO headlights and converting bullets back to BS3 switchgear to enable switching lights on independently - Do you have a view on this?

So all bulbs arrived - completed the change without any hassle - Exactly as Stuart predicted it would be. On my 2020 model when the speedo retaining clamp was released, I found that the speedo unit would pop up enough to allow me to change the bulbs outside of the nacelle - I've also gone ahead and changed the tiger lights to LED too. I purchase my LED from where Stuart suggested - for anyone contemplating this change - They worked first time! All I need now is a better main/dipped bulk! Brilliant Video Stuart !!

I think they just screwed up and put low watt bulbs in and didn’t think it out well. Neat upgrade

[@daigriffiths399]

You can upgrade the headlight to LED too which will reduce the load on the electrical system while increasing the light output. Don't use knock-off Chinese H4 lookalikes because they will fail quickly; you'll need to put your hand in your pocket and pay out for Phillips Ultinon (£54 for a pair of H4s when I bought mine) or the Osram equivalent. The fan on the back of the Ultinon only just misses the speedo cable and you'll probably find that you'll need to push some of the OEM wiring out of the way. You'll always know if the headlight is working properly when you turn the ignition on because the fan makes a faint but noticable high pitched noise.

Good information to know.

[@paolocolucci5784]

What about... the headlight bulb?! 😅 I think it is the real Achille's heel of the Classic lightning, really a bit unsufficient when riding at night. Putting in a more powerful bulb could damage the unit (higher heat affecting and deforming what is not glass but plastic). Any hints?

[@mcbob1967]

I switched mine for a Ballack H4 Rain drive+ (the one with the yellow tip); i love riding at night but I live in a foggy area, and the new bulb has been, so far, a great improvement. It feels (relatively) hotter than the stock bulb, yes, but the headlight hasn't been affected at all. Also, it gives the headlight a yellowish tone, with a pleasant period feel.

Re: That little clip thing in the top of the speedo housing holding the top of the headlight shroud.. I unscrewed that top screw all the way out and that clip fell in to the headlight housing.. That alone took me quarter of an our to work out which way round it went.. But.. Apart from that, I've changed my neutral light for a brighter LED, now to find one for the indicator bulb.. The LEDs I bought are weird.. Turn on the left indicator and the LED flashes, turn on the right and it doesn't.. Take the bulb out and turn it round, plug it back in.. Turn on the left indicator, nothing.. Turn on the right and the LED flashes.. Grrr.. I have to get an LED with a single circuit, not this dual circuit thing I've bought.. Still.. I've fixed the neutral light.. That was annoying me the most.. The other "idiot" lights aren't as important.. The highbeam indicator bulb is fine as are the ABS and Engine warning lights.. The low fuel indicator bulb will have to go.. I'll dig that one out tomorrow... I was worried I was going to rip the wires out of the plugs.. They're a bit of a pain to get out... Anyhoo.. Thanks again for a very informative video.. BTW.. I don't think you have to unscrew all the screws around the headlight.. Only the top one.. Unscrew it a little then hinge down the headlight.. There's a clip holding it in place at the bottom.. When the headlight "lens" is out, unplug the headlight bulb, and pop out the park light.. Do what you have to do, then reverse procedure reassembling it.. Its easy once you've tackled it once.. 👍 ** Edit: I've "changed" the speedo display lights now.. I found an LED bulb suitable for the indicator (My gawd its so bright I can see it in the middle of the day), changed the Neutral light to LED too, I left the "Hi beam" light with a standard OEM globe as I reckon that one doesn't need to be so bright at night.. It'd be too distracting.. I changed the ABS globe for a red T5 LED and it looks really cool now (I have a red ABS warning light), the engine warning light - I painted it with orange glass paint, that looks weird now, like it has a sort of swirly pattern in the display - looks kind of like its on fire.. And for the "Low Fuel" lamp I painted that one light blue, so now it displays in a sort of turquoise colour.. I've left the speed display with the standard OEM bulb. I like the level of illumination of that bulb.. Its bright enough at night.. I think an LED would be too bright and distracting... So now all I'm waiting on are my muffler, single skin header pipe, and Halcyon bar end mirrors from Hitchcocks. I have a DNA air filter waiting patiently on my shelf for the exhaust to be fitted.. I'm not too sure about changing the plug for an iridium one, and I'll see if the bike runs differently before changing the front sprocket for the "go faster" one.. Oil: I'm going to be running it on semi-synthetic at my next oil change.. ** Unky Phil - Does the oil make a difference to engine noise like people say it does?? I understand semi or fully synthetic oil makes the engine run a little quieter..

Stu, I can’t see a link to buy the correct led bulbs can you advise please, I’ve watched many times trying to work out the correct ones but not able to find on Amazon as there is so many different types and this is an upgrade that def needs to be done….. I’ve just acquired a B5 and would like to do this 👍

I have an RE but unfortunately found watching 20 mins too much just to find out how to change a set of bulbs. I will just say I swapped to warm glow LEDs for my tiger lights above the headlamp - normal LEDs just looked too "modern" and didn't suit the bike at all..

@@stuartfillingham No thanks, I was just trying to help you make your videos a bit better. I guess there's little that can be done for your manners but good luck with that.
