Triumph Rocket III with sidecar
Hello, I have a 2005 Rocket III for a few years now. My low beam headlight is burnt out. Never happy with the lights on this bike anyway, so looking for advice on what you're all using for brighter headlights and where to buy them?
 
A conversion to LED is the way.
You can get LED 'bulbs' that replace the old filament H4 bulbs but unfortunately the reflector type lamps we have arent really suitable.

Best and cleanest route is to get a whole LED lamp unit that replaces everything inside the chromed bucket on the bike.

A lot of people use chinese units off the Internet, then there's the legit but expensive JW Speaker units including ones with adaptive capabilities.
And there's also the (also expensive) Triumph OEM units (actually made for them by JW Speaker) which happily fit the old Rocket III too;


Oh and given your year you should do the headlight relay installation. E.g. Eastern Beaver do a kit.
The LEDs will draw much less current but still worth doing it. Avoid possible future ignition switch breakdown.
Also the old original headlights will be a little brighter on their own just by doing this relay job.

Thanks. Wow, pretty pricy!
