Hi Guys,
I am new to this forum and would like to share the electrical modifications which i did to my Honda Activa deluxe model bought in 2010.
Now a days you get LED bulbs easily on Ebay, Shopclues shopping site with reasonable price so please search for below bulbs
Following bulbs replaced:-
Tail Light : BA15D (21 W + 5 W) replaced with white LED bulb
Turn Signals: BA15S (Front & Rear 21 W x 4) replaced with amber LED bulbs
Turn Signal indicators : T10 (1.5 W x 2) replaced with T10 LED bulbs
Speedometer Light : T10 (1.7 W x 2) replaced with T10 LED bulbs
High Beam indicator: T10 (1.7 W x 1) replaced with T10 LED bulb
Headlight bulb: H4 Philips 35/35 W replaced with Osram Night Breaker 55/60 W
I've replaced turn signal flasher (Thermal) with electronic flasher for LED bulbs.
Modification done in electrical wiring
->Cut the yellow wire of headlight switch which comes from Alternator and connected the headlight wire to Ignition switch wire. This has converted whole electrical setup to DC i.e. on battery.
Modifications done to put headlight bulb on alternator instead of battery.
->Cut the wire of Upper/dipper switch which comes from headlight switch.
-> Connected this wire to 12 V relay and ground wire too from battery. This change made the relay on/off with headlight switch with DC current.
-> Connected the yellow wire which comes from alternator (AC current) to relay and the other end to Upper/dipper switch
With the above modifications, the whole alternator output is supplied to headlight bulb only. Where as in original factory setup the alternator output is distributed in to headlight bulb (35 W), Tail light bulb (5 W), speedometer light (1.7 W x 2) and high beam indicator (1.7 W) that is optional based on upper/dipper switch.
These modifications helped me a lot to achieve maximum brightness in headlight bulb and minimum load on battery by replacing incandescent bulbs with LED.
