Ride
Triumph Rocket 3 Classic
My name is Ian from Oxon in England. I run an 07 R3 Classic and an XJR 1300. Both are ridden all year. Road salt washes off! Both bikes are modified but not over the top. The Rocket is the Tribal blue finish. I have a question. I just changed the headlights to LED's. They work fine and are a great improvement on the originals. When I am riding the main beam light on the clocks stays on after going from high beam back to low. Hugh and low switch on and off no problem. It is just the blue light staying on. Doesn't do it if bike not running. I'm wondering if it is due to the LED's drawing way less power than bulbs? Any ideas guys?
 
Welcome from sunny Telford! I've run with LED bulbs in the original reflectors and now with full LED lights, neither have illuminated the main beam light so I suspect you have disturbed something in the wiring, just go back over the wiring and make sure everything is good.
Are you a member of the UK owners club? big meet at the Ace Cafe on 22nd April, lots of help and advice available there.
 
Hi Coppa. Units I have fitted are plug and play. Only difference is that I have removed the small parking bulb and taped it up. Someone on another thread suggesting it needs to be in even if just tucked in behind the light. Blue light goes on and off when stationery but won't go out after riding for a while.

Welcome from New Zealand, I have exactly the same problem.
I fitted the LED Headlights about 3 weeks ago.

Hi Paul. Did you remove the small parking lamp? Have read suggestions it needs to be in situ.
