Hey all,
I finally got around to swapping the headlight for an LED one. I went with the Beamtech that several other forum members recommended. I installed it like Muffintop described in this thread.
My question is with the heatsink just up against the rubber boot is it still water-sealed? I ride in heavy rain sometimes.
I was able to get the heat sink on the outside of the boot but then I couldnt get the metal clip back on with my big hands so I went with the above install.
Also should I put the connector in one of those electric water sleaves like the accessory harness? or do you think its fine

1. Disconnect the cable connector.
2. Remove the rubber dust protection cover
3. Release the pin holding the bulb in place, and remove the bulb.
4. Beamtech LED has an aluminium base that looks like a heat sink and a small cable with the H4 connector.
5. This (3 pin) H4 connector is a tight fit into the dust protection cover. Insert the H4 connector through the rubber dust protection cover first.
6. With the rubber dust protection cover dangling from the LED bulb, squeeze the pin that secures the bulb on the bike, between the aluminium base/heat sink and the LED
7. Stick the pin back into place and secure the dust protection cover.
