| Greetings from Columbus Ohio USA. Proud new owner of an 02, SW. High miles but seems well maintained. Got from a dealership. Coming from an 06 Burg 400. Looking forward to sharing experience, reading posts and chat w everyone. Questions about upgrades to the headlamps. They seem so dim and yellow even with purchasing new bulbs. Would Leds fit? |

| Greetings!
No doubt those who know will be forthcoming with the information you seek but there are many threads here about changing bulbs and so on so you might like to spend a little time trawling with the use of our Search facility. Starting from the Home Page often produces Forum-wide results. |

| No doubt some have fitted LED's as replacements for OE bulbs and they going to say they're brilliant however they perform. Rather like those that were fitting HID kits a few years ago and saying pretty much the same.
I replaced the ageing OE bulbs in my Silver Wing with Osram Nightbreakers a couple of years before I sold it and they were a great improvement. Mainly because I chose bulbs specifically recommended for motorcycle/maxi scooter use. Osram have produced better and improved versions since then, as I get regular emails from the automotive lighting specialists I bought them from.
I have full LED lights in my Forza 300 including the mirrors, and after more than two and a half years of ownership I still don't have an opinion, they're just lights.

| Welcome aboard the board grasshopper. There was a recent post (past couple of weeks) from a new member about his LED headlight upgrade modification ... use the "Search" function and read all about it! |
