Here’s the procedure to switch from halogen to LED headlights on a motorcycle or scooter. First, check the manual to see if your vehicle is already approved for LED use by the manufacturer: if so, the process will be straightforward. If the documentation only approves halogens, you must update the registration document before fitting LEDs on the road; without this step, you will be committing an offence and your insurance may not cover you in case of an accident. You can do this at the MCTC offices or through a motoring agency. Ensure that the LEDs you purchase comply with EU regulations for road use. The operational steps include accessing the headlight, which often requires removing the fairing, disconnecting the power supply, removing the halogen bulb, and installing the LED bulb, positioning the control unit and heat sink in a space where it can receive air to cool down. Connect the power supply, reconnect the battery, and check the operation.
