I need some confirmation or an education on this.
I purchased an LED bulb for my 2015 NC700x. Selected the bulb from the Phillips bulb chart at Philips Bulb Look-up | 2015 HONDA MOTORCYCLE NC700X and ordered it via Amazon at Amazon.com: HIKARI LED Headlight Bulbs Conversion Kit -H4(9003),CREE (XHP50+XM-L2) 9600lm 6K Cool White,2 Yr Warranty: Automotive
Other than needing smaller hands it was pretty easy to pull the OEM bulb out and plug in the LED. I did have to cut the rubber boot to expose the fans on the LED. The light is definitely much brighter and even though the light housing may not have been designed for an LED, the design of the bulb seems to keep the light line at the trunk line when behind a car.
Concerns: This was too easy, so why am not not reading some of the senior members doing this? Did I just create an illegal light or some other operational issue by going LED? And if it is a legit mod, how are others weatherproofing the back of the bulb/fan. See my picture of the cut away of the boot with LED fan.
