Finally got around to trying to install the 55w Novasight led units. They will NOT work even with the extended covers.Di not rush to buy. the novsigth H7 model that you posted is from a previous generation (36w per lamp….the newer ones are 50w per lamp
N52 Plus Series | H7 LED Bulbs Automotive-Grade Chip 100W 20000LM 6500K White | 2 Bulbs
Upgrading your headlamp with Novsight LED headlight bulbs now! Low and high beams will definitely fill the areas in front of much better than OEM halogen bulbs. Super bright and a much wider spectrum of light. 100W, 20000 lumens per pair, 6500K white light. 300% brighter than the factory halogen...www.novsights.com
I didn't understand the "give advice" part, but if you read #11, in that post, I think (if my English doesn't fail me), I said that the small box with capacitors inside, "doesn't fit into the headlight"... .Finally got around to trying to install the 55w Novasight led units.

If you are going to give advice, do it from first hand experience and sound knowledge.View attachment 91245
You said the 55w was a better choice. So what would you do with the box that holds the capacitors?I didn't understand the "give advice" part, but if you read #11, in that post, I think (if my English doesn't fail me), I said that the small box with capacitors inside, "doesn't fit into the headlight"... .
and this is only 33 watts instead of the 55 watts of Yamaha OEM?I bought these last year and they are fantastic. Funny, as I thought they were Novsight (I think the box even said Novsight).
The previous owner had included the expanded plastic housing, which you will require.
The first thing you have to do is calm down. Today, practically "all" current and excellent quality LED lamps come with this box (canbus), which is fundamentally intended for 2 objectives: 1) avoid the "burnt lamp" signal in vehicles that have this function and 2) avoid blinking, when the lamp is not powered directly from the battery and there are voltage drops. If you look in the market, you will probably find some lamp without canbus, but they will surely be of a previous generation or of lower quality/power.You said the 55w was a better choice.

Kind of confusing figuring out what you actually did. Did you actually cut off the wire for box and install the lights with no box ? Yes I have heard of others doing that and claiming the lights work fine without the box but have never been sure I could trust that advice so never attempted it myself.The first thing you have to do is calm down.

Not all upgrades are plug and play. The LED lamps you bought are an improvement over the OEM ones, but they require certain adaptations so that they "fit" into the headlight. The first adaptation is the extended cap (whose purpose is only for the cooler) otherwise the "cooler" is so big that the oem cap does not close. The second adaptation is "the canbus box". As I said in post #11, this box "does not fit" in the headlight, there is not enough space for it to fit. This box also requires "another" adaptation. If you don't want to "remove" the box you must place the box outside, cut wires, pierce the extended cap, put on a rubber seal, and use electrical connectors....."I" (AND THIS IS NOT ADVICE), simply remove the canbus box, I put some electrical connectors protected with heat-shrinkable plastic, and that's it, they work great, no blinking,... But, the fact that I have done it, does not enable me to "advise" others to do it. In any "adaptation" there is not always a single way to do it, so the best thing is to search/read the different ways to “adapt” something, and from there... choose the simplest/effective way to do it.
The adaptation of led lights with canbus box, it has a solution, but the "first" thing you should do before deciding to adapt, would be to ask the supplier if the lamp you bought (of the same power and quality, comes from the factory without a canbus box.
This is how I did it, I took the risk (not without first having read about what could be done). The risk was the possibility of blinking, but it did not happen. Burnt lamp signal the S10 does not have.Kind of confusing figuring out what you actually did. Did you actually cut off the wire for box and install the lights with no box ?

That's what I'm asking. Does anyone know or have they bought these bulbs with extended caps and do they fit?You have a box relay or some ballast to somewhere inside the cap. will it fit ?
They appear to be the same Cyclops kit I have but apparently they have raised the price a little. installing at least for me is very difficult ! But my opinion they put out way more usable light than most other LED kits.I'm looking to order these bulbs from Cyclops. I have already ordered extended caps in blue from "deftoner". Does anyone know if there will be any issues with these bulbs as far as the mounting and space goes? Looking to save a few dollars by getting the caps, plus I get them in a color, somewhere else. These bulbs are only $64.95 thru Cylops.

any T10 501 LED bulbWhat led bulbs do I get for the parking lights?
Nevermind, I found that this there is a LED h7 bulb with nylon cooling base...I will order them and see...but according to this video it should workAnyone managed to install led bulbs without changing the plastic housing?
Not being very powerful, they do not need much cooling. The power is related to the "depth and opening of the light beam"... If you look at the headlight from the front, it surely looks better than the oem halogens, but the important thing is the ability of the lamps to light "forward". ”Nevermind, I found that this there is a LED h7 bulb with nylon cooling base...I will order them and see...but according to this video it should work
Thanks a lot. Cancelled my order...Not being very powerful, they do not need much cooling. The power is related to the "depth and opening of the light beam"...
