Led lightbulds don’t work at all

[sigmarxt]

Hi guys,

i need your opinion for led lighting. i installed the below lightbulbs and the don’t light up at all. Do you hav a clue of what is might happening. Pls don’t suggest led-edperf since being outside UK its not worth buying due to VAT and customs applied unfortunately. Thank you

did you try plugging in the other way round, flipping the polarity?? also try with the engine running, so lights only turn on once the engine runs.

What SimonUK said...flip the polarity. They also need to be "Can-bus" compliant or they will throw a fault light and code.

Auxito Z1's work fine, have had them in my bike for over 2 years.

Thank you both,

    Yes, these are can-bus lightbulbs.. and are a second option given to me by the store since the first ones (non-can bus) were working but every now and then an error code was thrown that’s why they suggested those. No light at all, no error code -problem solved… ahahaha

+1 on the Z1s, I use them myself and recommended them to a couple mates even in other bikes and everyone is happy.

+2 on the Z1's! Easy install, they work and no error codes.

These Can-bus bikes & cars are critical to the voltage, amperage & wattage. Make sure the bulbs are the same wattage as stock. I'm going to try the proper watt LED Bulbs in both headlights so both are on in Low & High beam. Will post results soon.

Pretty sure the XR only cares about resistance and voltage. Z1s work and are plenty bright, i see no reason to pay more.

Hi all,

  Just wanted to update the thread. Apologies for late response.
I unplugged the bulbs and re-installed them, I also re did the polarity again (that was the problem as mentioned above) and everything works! thank you all for the replies.
