I have already changed out the main headlight bulb to led. Super bright and I've used those types for years some seem as bright as a hid light
This is what I got for the z125 I had purchased a cheaper model but the seller accidentally sent me a more expensive one
CREE Kit 9003 HB2 H4 Pack of 2 LED Bulbs 2 30W High Low Replace Head Light 5000K | eBay
Sometimes you can find these as cheap as $16 each
The z125 uses H4 type bulbs for the headlight
so when searching for a led replacement I like the types that are around 22watts up to 30 watts
Go higher then 35 watts then thats more then the stock bulb uses and who knows how much faster it will drain the battery
anything less may not be as bright
The 22 watt and above usually have a little power supply box so that makes it easy to search for on eBay always look for a power supply box first, then look at the wattage, then the price
Some will have a tiny fan on the back of the bulb
some bikes because of room I remove the fans, never had over heat issues
Im thinking the fans may be for cars where the lights are inside the engine compartment with a lot more heat then a motorcycle headlight ever sees
I was able to barely get the fan installed on the one I bought but I could of kept it off too
Now I'm concentrating on the wedge bulbs
we have one in the headlight, and license plate light
I think I have ordered around 5 sets all from china, all different types all very inexpensive so maybe invested $7 total to try them all out
today one set came in so I installed it in the headlight
I bought the white color
T10 2W 8 SMD LED Cool White Warm White Light Wedge Base W5W 168 Dome 12V Bulb SC | eBay
its a perfect color match to my main led headlight bulb and is pretty bright for the size
I'm going to wait until they all come in to pick the best one and test on my headlight as the license plate is the hardest one to change out
For the license plate I want one that puts the most light facing down if possible
So here is the one that came in today
This is very bright for the size and happened to match exactly to my headlight color
