LED light conversion for the Interceptor

I'm a little teased by the idea of doing a full conversion to LED lights on my 650.

There seems to be a few options out there for turn signals. I'm not seeing much on headlights.

Don't have an issue with the stock lights, well except I find the headlight just adequate brightness, I'ld like something that throws more light. Where I live there's a chance of critters on the road, some of them big (moose, deer).

I think a full LED conversion would be a nice upgrade.

Anyway, anyone know of any options, beyond what Hitchcoks and TEC U.K. offers?

Thanks, will take a look, on first glance, yikes they are pricey, maybe that's why there's not many LED headlight options out there.

Ryan@F9 put this up about a year ago.
The unitized headlights are expensive. They upside is they are made to meet DOT specs to not throw light upwards blinding oncoming trading. That's kinda important imho.

I did a total LED change and tidy-up using the TEC little black lights. I had an LED H4 bulb or 2 in the shop so I popped that in and it sure is bright. But then I adapted old Hella H4 headlight lens to fit as I really like that old fluted glass and sharp cut off beam, so thats what I'm running now.

At that price I'll put in an LED bulb for brilliance, however I am liking the old school H4 look..... have done several LED swaps. If I was riding at night a lot then I'd put in a good LED.

Hey Bentouttashape, where did you order the TEC Bullet lights? I see them on the TEC UK site, but not on the TEC USA site. I am in Vancouver, BC, and my understanding is we have to order from the TEC USA website.

You have to search for TEC USA, they come from California, which is a total waste of time as the shipping & customs charges is expensive and the courier charged me all sorts of fees and charges plus taking a long time. Ordering from the UK or India is far less challenging and way faster plus cheaper landed here. Years ago you could order direct from the UK for TEK but not now. Ordering from Hitchcocks is super fast, no customs charges and the parts fit. I ordered the headlight brackets & bar end mirrors from China sources and they got here fast work just fine.
