The Honda PCX / Forza / ADV150 / SH Forums

How can I change my headlights to led? Where do I find the bulbs? I cannot find any info on doing this? Can it be done?

I am not certain that you can change a 2013 model to total led, but I did change my bulbs to HS5, which helped a lot.

Welcome aboard Idealmake! Cool name and I agree, Honda is
Alrighty, I just did a quick search and came up with quite a bit of input. Too much to even link you to.
I suggest you try the search button above by doing this:

1) click search button above
2) in the "Search for Keywords" type: LED lights on 2013
3) in the "Search in Forum" dropdown box, choose: PCX Tech Help and PCX How-To
4) Lastly, click the search button

Up comes choices, choices! Have Fun learning reading and tooling.

BTW, member Mel46 is yer man! RE: lighting

I've often found it's easier to find things here by searching google - this forum's posts often crop up and the search engine there seems easier at times, so try both options.

By the way Idealmake, would you mind going into your profile and adding your general location, please? It helps us to help you better. Some items are more readily available in some countries vs others.

Regarding LED headlights. ...
My 2018 Piaggio has just a superb headlight.
I thought, 'why couldn't Kymco design such an effective reflector?!" This thing makes my Kymco look like a candle.
Then I checked the manual: LIKE200i has a 35/35W Halogen bulb; the Liberty150i has a 60/55W Halogen bulb.
It ain’t the reflector!

I looked into upgrading my headlights to the ones that draw a-lot more current...I am talking 55w. What I found from others was that if you want to melt the plastics, buy the 55w ones. Honda did NOT mean for us to upgrade our bulbs that much on the PCX. In fact, as I understand it the older models that were sold in Thailand had headlights that were not as powerful as what we have over here in the United States...pre-led versions.

That is why I followed Maddiedog's lead and installed Kawell spotlights on the forks.

Thanks to all.

By the way, if you like a project, the 2013 model only has the two main headlights. The rest of the slots are not even open for bulb installation.

Keeping that in mind, I took on the task of rewiring and adding LED lights to my headlight assembly, though I kept the HS5 bulbs in the main headlight slots. (They don't come with HS5 bulbs in those slots originally, but with effort you can change them out...what a pain that was! It is much easier to just take the bike apart during winter storage and upgrade everything then.)
Now: I have recently removed the very top lights in order to add hazard lights.

Agree. It's the same on most forums.

Please be aware that if you installed an aftermarket LED bulb in a halogen designed light housing, you might be blinding oncoming drivers/riders increasing risk of accidents. These modifications are illegal in increasingly more and more jurisdictions.
Please be familiar with this video.

The good thing about the HS5 bulb is that Honda actually recommends them but for some reason not all of the PCX 150s had them installed. Here is a Honda OEM parts diagram. Notice what item #5 says. (34901-GGE-901)

Google search on that part number: https://www.google.com/search?q=34901-G ... e&ie=UTF-8

Note the descriptions. PCX 150 is mentioned specifically.

Got it, sorry, they it doesn't apply to these bulbs.
Surprising that they can be interchangeable with incandescent bulbs.

It'd be great if someone could advise on the best alternative to standard bulbs for a 2010 PCX from Thailand.
