I just installed led headlight bulbs on my 94 gl1500. I was wondering if it is ok to install the original rubber dust cover boots over the new led bulbs?
Thanks

Re: Led headlights
If they are the fan less ones, then yes, you can.
If they have fans, probably not without modification.
The LED bulbs I have used on motorcycles are fan less and fit exactly the same as the halogen bulbs they replaced, so I put the boot back on.

If there is a finned heat sink I wouldn't. Heat kills LEDs.

Maybe depends on bulb. Led install on my bike allow for the boots.

Re: Led headlights
I put AUXBEAM LEDs in the headlights in November 2018.I believe the fanless heat sinks fit outside the rubber boot. Have bad zero issues with them.
