LED HEADLIGHT FOR ‘08 EFI K-9

[Big Dog Fan]

Hey there BD K-9 fans!
Is there a LED headlight or bulb that works in an ‘08 EFI K-9? It seems the EHC does not recognize the lower current draw of the LED bulb. The H-4 halogen works fine, but when replaced with the LED, the LED flickers and remains stuck on high beam. Does anyone have a solution?

I have the same one in my Bagger which is EFI of course and I don't have any problems with it.

Tough to beat those. I got those and have put about 4k on one and 7k on another and still works fine.

Some guys in more humid areas have had some condensation issues. I think just take a little silicone on your finger and where the glass meets the metal backing just run a thin layer of silicone and that should fix that. Although at the price point it's hard to argue regardless.

Any reason that wouldn't work on a non EFI 08 K9?

I have the same one also, not to long after I got it one of the round side things came loose and just flops in it’s space. Going down the road it flickers a little kinda like the lights that flash for safety so I just left it. I love the light tho

Just so you know when you install it there is a flat gasket in the back of the headlight housing that the old light sits on. I left it in at first but it was a little to thick and I could not get the chrome ring to screw all the way down so I just took it out and the light sits nice and tight in the housing without it.

X2, both off my lenses came loose. I also had condensate/discoloring. I sent them both back for a new one
