Hello all! I would like to change out all or most of my lighting to LED. Are there any simple plug and play options available?
Thank you in advance!

Good quality, fast shipping. They have many motorcycle specific led bulbs.
LED's have come a long way in the last 15 years.
Where headlight LED's once needed a ballast with extra wiring, and would emit light scatter to blind oncoming vehicles, today the good ones are a direct replacement. All of those other bulbs like the T10 are the same.

Indicator bulb LED's are an issue as they draw so little power that they "hyperflash" on early DL650's and you will need to replace the flasher unit with one of these:

I have had these Auxito H4's fitted for years with no issues at all. Unlike some LED's the base is the same size as the OEM halogens and a straight swap.

They seem unavailable at the moment but these are similar.
This style avoids any fitting problems of the rubber weather seal.

Be aware reducing the power load can shorten the life of the stator unless a regulator upgrade is also done.

Here is where I learned about the differences between shunt regulators and series regulators: Regulator / Shunt verses Series

This is when I decided to install a series regulator into my V-Strom: Voltage Regulator Question

This is how it turned out: SH847 Series Regulator Installed
