The nice thing about switching to LEDs is less demand for hydro on your alternator .
It's a win-win situation when you go to brighter lights and less demand on your alternator.
Great video. I currently ride a 2000 model year GL 1500 that I purchased in April of 2021. I've been getting to know the bike pretty well, from you more experienced goldwing guys out here posting these awesome videos. Sure do appreciate it. Keep them coming!
Your welcome
Ride safe
I can't believe this videos timing? I was just by my 88' GW, looking at lower turning lights thinking I'd rather have running lights. I come inside an Yours is first video I see, converting turning lights too running lights. I'm going out too buy a lottery!
You know that if you win you have to share...right :)
I'm having problems with my ignition key switch not doing anything except lower dash lights an fuel pump!
Thank you. I was trying to find a video to show me where the cornering light relays were. I now have even more info if I want to change them to running lights. I think I'm going to do that.
Glad I could help.
Ride safe.
Great video, full of good stuff 😊
Thanks so much! 😊
THANK YOU.!🇺🇸✌🏻😎can't wait
Thanks
Nice to see someone else struggle to get the Wings clothes off, be thankful you have not got a sidecar in the way =)
Exactly!
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Hello, when the motorcycle is on as at the end of the video, and the hazard warning lights are switched on, does the position lights (5W filament) part in the orange lights go out or stay on?
Mine stay on
That's about how I remembered it! You mentioned the reassembly order at the end there. There are plastic alignment pins that go from the side panels into the lower cowl (or maybe it's the other way) that can give grief if the cowl is not loosened. Just removing the one cowl screw on whichever side you're working on gives it enough play that you can flex it in and out, if you don't want to remove the whole cowl.
By the way, have you LEDized your turn signals yet? Just wondering how that goes. I want too, but hear it can mess with the auto shutoff and cruise control. Thanks for the video!
I will not be putting in LED tirn signals for just that reason.
Ride safe
Amazingly well done video and job. Very informative, I like your idea and I'm going to do it as well. Thank-you. Please update if it fails. I don't think it should with led, but still.... the bulbs might blow from quality. Thx
I have ridden about 13,000km on the Goldwing since doing the conversion and it still works and looks great
Ride safe
Very helpful video , I needed to refresh my memory. My fogs just stopped working .. so watching your video , while I'm in checking why they don't, I'll change them .. or can be a bad relay.. im asking ....they worked few weeks ago ..
Gotta love the search projects
Check your cornering light relays, they might be the culprit.
@@highmilagerider1154 it was actually the switch wire, was kinda old and rotted , so I replaced the ends and reconnected it , bingo , lights on ....thks for the feed back . Ride safe
loved the video. the part I'm missing , the rubber flat , that goes at the bottom of the windshield under the chrome piece. why it's missing idk.. any idea where I can purchase.
thanks
Good question. If you were in Alberta then I would know a guy who could probably get you that part.
Maybe try Goldwing doc's website, they may know.
Ride safe
Greetings,
As always another brilliant detailed video 🇺🇸🍾🎉🇺🇸
Would you provide me with the link to purchase the long chrome piece with the 3screws?
Thank you so much for assisting me.
Keep producing more videos. (One with all your mods would be great)
I actually bought those trim pieces from a Goldwing guy in Blackie AB named Wayne so I don't have a link to give you.
You should be able to get them thru Show chrome or fortnine.ca
Thank you so much!
Where can I buy These bulbs?
Greetings from Germany
Cycle Max in the USA
Night n day difference from OEM to aftermarket…question? Do you find oncoming traffic flashing you for having too bright of light and do these new LEDs have high and low beams setting…would like to have seen switched from high to low in video for comparison
No one has flashed me, probably because I used the same cornering light lens so the light goes low and to the side a bit, all I did was replace the bulb
I changed them so I would be more visible, not so much so I could see better with them
There is a whole kit available out there from Fortnine in Canada and many places in the USA where you replace the bulb and lens so it becomes a true driving light. There about $200
Ride safe
Loved this Vid! Subbed and Belled!!
I got same year, same colour Wing, in Manitoba!
The fact that you’re still making vids on these Beauties makes me happy!! Keep ‘em coming..
Question: did you do LED on your headlight too?
Mine is still bone stock, I have a lot of work ahead of me! 🤣👌
I put new Halogen bulbs in the headlight. I didn't want to have to deal with resistors and stuff.
Just LED driving lights.
I'll have a new video this weekend of me changing my front fork springs and oil, steering head bearings, engine cases (too less corroded ones), grips + clutch/brake levers and left signal stalk (to hopefully fix my turn signals)
How many km's on your bike?
Ride safe
@@highmilagerider1154 oh nice! Looking forward to those vids..👏
I have about 130k on mine, but most of that isn’t me. 🤣
Bought it only a year ago, it is in extremely mint condition, based on some other ones I looked at.. But yeah, bone stock.
I’d love a 98+ CLEAR Headlight on mine but they’re hard to come by and too expensive, not worth it for it being mostly aesthetics..
I’m gonna go LEDs on most of my Lights too, eventually, so it’s interesting to see you stick to halogens on headlight.. 👍
You see, I’m a young dad, father of 3, coming from the Rocket and Off-road community. I used to stunt motorcycles, dirt bikes, quads etc, so this Touring Category is new to me but I just sold my Ninja ZX10R and honestly, the Wing suits me at this moment haha
I love this old man, Dad-Vibes I get from it, blasting 80s rock, going down the road on Cruise Control and actually going the Speed Limit haha.. So different than stunting or riding the modded Ninja at near tripple the Hwy Speed 🫣
My Sister lives in the Lower Mainland so a West Coast Trip is in the works, for the Future! 🙌👌
@@meals24u welcome to dad bike heaven. I too rode all kinds of non dad bikes prior to buying a gl1500 last year as well. At 60 i wish i had done it sooner and enjoyed the comfort instead of suffering for non dad cool.
@@shblair hahah I believe you!! I can not believe how amazingly comfy these couches are!! Great bikes.. Truly a Legend
This is a Great Video. I do not get the wiring change. what are you doing or too, the green wire
To make the Cornering lights permanent Driving lights that are on when there is power to the bike, all you have to do is pull the green wire out of the Cornering relay or cut it.
Nice detailed tutorial..have a question. I ordered the SOCALMOTOGEAR
50 Watt LED Replacement Cornering Light Bulb. #SCML50WC-2
But when I plugged them in they were Extremely dim. Barley candle strength. Left side doesn't work with the LED bulbs but stock halogen bulbs work. Any idea what it could be. Relay or fuse. Weird that both stock bulbs work but LED only on o e side and VERY dim. Thank you for your help
Might be a relay or fuse, but I wouldn't thing so given that your halogen bulbs work.
One GW owner suggested that some later model wings (90-96) might require a solder bridge on the rear contacts of the bulbs to make the corner LED's work?
I'm not familiar with the Socal bulbs and their amp/watage ratings.
I used the Pathfinder LED replacement bulbs from Cycle Max.
Did you try both LED bulb's on the left side?
Good luck.
Nothing more fun then chasing down electrical gremlin's on a older GW :)
@highmilagerider1154
I completely forgot to mention, mine is a 1997 gl1500 aspencade. 35k miles. I did order the same bulbs as you feom cyclemax. The socal eas in the item description.. Also the cruise control doesn't work..the light for it does light up though. Yeah guess I'll have to do some fuse or relay replacing. Did get a few from goldwingdocs....I'll keep you updated on my progress. Thanks again
Considering this video is over a year old this may be redundant. Since you are doing your own maintenance have you yet purchased a set of JS screwdrivers? The screws on Goldwings are not Phillips, they are JS or "Japanese Standard". Just similar enough that phillips screwdrivers will mangle the heads of the screws.
A little after this video I did buy a set of JS screwdrivers.
I just can't seem to stop saying phillips.
I guess it's that old dog, new tricks problem :)
Ride safe.
Tried to do this on my ‘92 Goldwing Aspencade. Bulbs wouldn’t work. Confident the bulbs were the correct ones but for whatever reason they wouldn’t light up when powered on. Not sure what the deal is. Any thoughts?
Not really sure
Did you try the OEM hallogen bulbs as driving lights (ie. on all the time when bike powered up after the change)?
There is a whole kit available out there from Fortnine in Canada and many places in the USA where you replace the bulb and lens so it becomes a true driving light. They are plug and play. There about $200
Ride safe
It's been 6 years since I replaced my cornering lights in my '89 with the 50W LED replacements by SoCalMotoGear from Cyclemax and they were a direct exchange plug-n-play. I do however vaguely recall reading about how some folks on some later model Wings having to make a solder bridge on the rear contacts of the bulb to make the corner LEDs work. I don't recall why and didn't have to try that anyway, but it may be worth looking up. Since cornering lights come on with the turn signals, did you try them with the turn signals on? Just grasping at feathers! Good luck!

Awesome , thanks
EXCELLENT !! THANKS
Glad you liked it!
Nice video 👍
Thanks 👍
Great vid great result! (Different point, never seen that leather cover before on front fairing and mirrors did you buy that?)
The leather Bra came with the bike
I have a 1996 gl 1500 se,Do u work on them?and wher are u located?
I'm in Edmonton Alberta. I'm already started on my next restoration project. A frame up restoration of a 1971 RT1B-360 kick start so I don't have a lot of free time.
Ride safe.
What is the Led bulbs size
Not sure what physical size, But their 50W LED replacement bulbs. Here is the link to Cycle max. Maybe they can answer your question.
cyclemax.com/products/50-watt-led-replacement-cornering-light-bulb
Off topic but what tyres are you running? The tread looks familiar but can't place them. Cheers!
Dunlop Elite 4's
How do you like them in actual use? Do they push the light far enough down the road?
I did a night ride and found they are really bright but the light angle is the same as when they were cornering lights because the lens is the same. I think to get them to shine further down the road you would need to buy on of the kits that also replaces the lens as well.
@@highmilagerider1154 Thanks for the feedback. I still may do this anyway..
But they don’t face forward.
Cool bike . I want this bike in trike version
That would be cool
