I was looking for a good LED Headlight conversion kit for my Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Classic for a while, and then I came across on Amazon with this one, "Sealight" H4/9003 LED Motorcycle Headlight. I decided to give it a shot. Let's install and see if it is going to make any difference.
Step 1:
- We need to disassemble the headlight and remove the old bulb.
- Secure the motorcycle on a level surface. I use my $20 stand for that. The link to the video showing how I did the jack is at the top right of the screen as well as in the description.
- Remove the headlight trim screws from both sides of the headlight shell.
- Pull out the bottom of the trim ring and remove it from the headlight shell.
- Disconnect the electrical connector from the backside of the original bulb and remove the lens unit.
- Remove the rubber cover from the back of the headlight lens unit.
- Unlock this clip and remove the light bulb. Don't touch it with your hands. You might reuse it at some point and you don't want to have any residual of skin oil or grease on the bulb glass as it is not good for it.
Step 2:
- Now we will install a new LED bulb. I'll talk about the bulb itself a bit later, so stay tuned.
- Press downward and take off LED bulb's ring turning it anti-clockwise.
- Put the LED bulb's ring into the lens unit and lock it with the clip.
- Install the rubber cover back onto the lens unit.
- Insert the LED bulb into the slot correctly positioning it, press down and then turn clockwise to lock it in place. Make sure that this part looks to the right if you are facing the front of the lens.
- Now connect the three-wire plug. Make sure it is tight.
Step 3:
- Install the lens unit and the trim back into the headlight shell. It is simple we just revers the removal steps.
About the LED bulb:
- Now lets talk about this LED bulb a bit. I will show you the difference how these two bulbs are lighting the road in a coupe of minutes.
- OK, here is a box with the LED bulb. For Kawasaki Vulcan 900 you need to buy model H4, series S1.
- As per specifications it clams that the color temperature is 6,000 Kelvin which is considered a cool white light color.
- Operating temperature is from -40C to +85C that is pretty good.
- It also says it is IP67 waterproof, as well as shock proof.

KMax, I ended up with the Sealight H4 you reviewed. Super bright, glad I changed it. During an evening-night ride, I felt like it pointed over vehicles, and not to the ground. Can the Sealight be adjusted?
Hi,
Yes, absolutely. There are two things to note:
1. Make sure it is installed in the right position. As I show it.
2. It can be adjusted as well as a regular light with the adjustment screw.
Ride safe!

I purchased the one you linked and its H4 Series M1, it works should i be worried about anything?
great job, nice vid, thumbed it, be great if you can show us how to put in headlight modulator and rear break light modulator????
Thank you! I'll look into it. Ride safe!
Hey Max, I have a question for you. Some of the road surface I travel on daily is a tad ordinary. This causes the headlight to vibrate some. Is there a trick or way to reduce vibration on the headlight that you know off? Thanks for your time.
This version of the light has the box, there is another version without it. Do you know what the difference is? Is it maybe integrated into the bulb?
How did you fit the driver into the housing?
Hey Max,
Thanks for the video. Is there any difference between M1 and S1 versions of these lights?
Hi, I had S1 installed on my bike. I saw on the box that there are other versions: M1, M2, M3, S2, S3, etc., but I could not find any information as it relates to the difference between those series. Their website does not work right now for some reason. Although it worked a little while ago. I remember looking through it, but I don't remember what the difference was. Ride safe!
Confused about orientation of the bulb. Is there only one position that it can lock up? I see that led chips are looking left and right through the glass not up or down.
thanks Max, can you recommend a modulator (it makes the headlight blink) to the v900 on amazon or wherever where its is easy labor to input, i heard their like 100$ I wana do ur LED sealight and modulator combo to my v900, thanks?
Do you want to have the headlight blinking? I know a lot of folks make the break lights blinking. Honestly, I have never tried anything like that for the headlights.
would you be able to put in a link to where you got the bulb from please
Here is a link where you can buy it: www.amazon.com/dp/B071Z7RHYM/ref=sspa_dk_detail_1?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B071Z7RHYM&pd_rd_w=4F0ME&pf_rd_p=48d372c1-f7e1-4b8b-9d02-4bd86f5158c5&pd_rd_wg=k1C5P&pf_rd_r=5NCNSR60NXFBZK0EFASE&pd_rd_r=68973e3b-e060-487e-9097-4e75065acab9&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUExTjdNS1k1SUFWNTVOJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwODA2NzU4NDRFSkc0NUhEQkdDJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTAzNTYxNTMyREFaMDI1N05XN09KJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfZGV0YWlsJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
Thanks for the vid. That said, It think it would have been better if the comparison screen was full screen. Did you really need to be in vision at that point? just sayin
Thank you for your feedback. Every video is a little experiment trying something new and learning.
Ride safe!

On amazon this blue box sealight i checked shows not for vulcan 900b
Like the frame for your glasses. What are they called and where did you purchase?
Hi Bob,
The glasses are from "OVVO Optics", model 2782, color 7546. I got them from one of local optics stores. They are very good for riding in the full helmet. I love them.
Ride safe!

@@KMaxVideo thank you
Hi Max. After watching your video of your $20 bike jack I subscribed to your channel. Max I have a question I’m hoping can help me with. My Vulcan 900 Classic is a 2006. Bought it used in May. In really good condition but I need to replace my front turn signals. I bought a set of 4 turn signals off of eBay...really cheap...the problem is the eBay turn signals have only 2 wire leads. The original turn signals have 3 wire leads. I can make the 2 wire turn signals work but I want to replace them with OEM turn signals. The only OEM signals I found are $69 each (also on eBay). If you know where I can get them cheaper please shoot short video describing the location. Thanks and keep up the great vids.
Hi, Vulcan 900 Classic bikes have two versions of the front turn signals, with two wires for Australia or Europe, and with three wires for USA and Canada. It is hard to find new OEM parts for significantly less than MSRP. If you live in US, I think the lowest price is at bikebandit.com (parts: Kawasaki LAMP-ASSY-SIGNAL,FR,LH Part # 23037-0511 & Kawasaki LAMP-ASSY-SIGNAL,FR,RH Part # 23037-0512). Their price is US$55.95 each and free shipping in US if you buy both left and right. They also have "LOWEST PRICE GUARANTEE:. If you find a lower price, they'll match it. :) Ride safe!
K Max Video thank you Max. I’ve only had a brief time to look at bikebandit today but I got their phone number and will call them as soon as I have more available time. I really appreciate your help. Stay safe brother.
I THUMBED IT, good vid, ,how much, ? also, there doesn't seem any other adjustments to do, just replace, correct?
It is US$40.00 on Amazon and $5 Off Coupon. No adjustments were required when I replaced it. Here is a link: www.amazon.com/SEALIGHT-Motorcycle-Headlight-Conversion-Approved/dp/B071Z7RHYM/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=H4+LED+%22Sealight%22&qid=1612580896&sr=8-8. Ride safe!
Thank you! Fell free to subscribe. I have more vids on Vulcan 900 if it is your ride. :) More is coming.
Hi Max, what is the difference between the S1 and the M1 Sealight 9003 please?
I can't find any info on this. Thanks mate.
I was trying to figure it out myself. I also already had few similar questions. Unfortunately, I could not find any information. There is nothing on the manufacturer's website right now. I was trying to find it in many different places, but found none. Sorry. Ride safe! Max
@@KMaxVideo Hi Max, I can give you some info on the M1 now.
Amazon had sent me the M1 instead of the S1 you recommended. Spec wise both are identical. The M1 has the external controller. I was concerned it is going to fit all inside the headlight housing. Sending it back was going to cost me 24 bucks, so I thought, let's have a crack at it. The controller look bigger than it is on the package or photos. It is around 1 1/2" long, 1" wide and around 3/8" thick. Plenty of room inside the housing. And yes, very happy with the LED bulb and light improvement in the dark early morning ride to work. Love it.
I also reduce/got rid of the headlight vibration. On the bumpy road it would vibrate the light beam somewhat. Since my bike is 15 years old, the rubbers must have shrunk a little. I ground down the spacer around 1 mm while having the lens out, now being firmer on the rubber grommet. Nice smooth light beam now. Frank
Hi Frank, mine S1 has exactly the same external controller as M1. That's why I couldn't see any difference. :) In any case, as long as it works as I expect it to do, I am cool with it. That's what matters, right? All the best! Max
I subscribed so u can make money in the future I hope u succeed
Thank you Rico!
@@KMaxVideo no thank you for helping us out btw be careful on the road
Great video took me only 10 mins to install mines thanks for the video
You are welcome! Ride safe! Max
Hey
Somebody who has already installed led with this type of radiator
It’s all ok with rubber coverbag?
I suppose heat from radiator can melt coverbag.
Sorry for delay. I have no issues with the temperature and melting. OEM halogen bulbs get really hot as well. I guess, those covers are designed to withstand the heat.
Ride safe!
Max
Do you happen to know a light that will fit a 96 vn800
Hi,
Sorry, I don't know on that one.
Ride safe!
Max
Any heat issues with the rubber grommet?
Hi,
No such issues.
Ride safe!
Max
@@KMaxVideo Thanks!
Why could you not change the bulb on the kickstand?
Good question. I just like that my bike stands straight when I work on it.
Ride safe!

Hello Max. Bamadad53 again. I’ve messaged you before. Max I have a windshield similar to yours with a large rectangular cutout over the headlight. A lot of wind passes through that cutout. It looks like you have a rectangular shaped insert that blocks the wind around your headlight and that attaches to your main windshield. I’m hoping you can tell me where I can find one like it. Thanks Max and by the way I saved your oil change video and use it when I change the oil on my Vulcan 900 Classic LT.
Hi, I know what you are referring to. I did not get it separately. I bought it together with the windshield. I think you can make one yourself. You can buy a piece of acrylic sheet at the hardware store and cut it out to the size and form. I can take exact measurements for you. It looks like it is about 1.5-2 mm thick. If you have the same windshield as I do, you'll need a peace 16"x10".
@@KMaxVideo thank you Max. That information will certainly help.
Thank I got the wrong one mines saysm1
I actually could not find any difference between M1 and S1. There is not much documentation or information on those lamps. Based on feedback I received from other folks both work just fine. Ride safe! Max
