Headlight Change-out to aftermarket LED's with Daytime Running Lights & Integrated Turn Signals
So as everyone knows by now Honda stopped putting the LED Headlights in the Pioneer 1000 Models changing to Halogen as a cost savings measure. They offered the OEM LED headlights as a $400 accessory + $25 wiring harness needed for $425 to have the headlights used as far back 8 years ago by default.
My first nighttime spin with the halogen OEM lights were actually depressing compared to my 2016 P1K5D & 2018 P1K5LE machines I had owned. This 2024 P1K5D headlights on low reminded me of my 2015 P500 which too left MUCH to be desired.
So after much looking found these LED lights offered on Amazon.com from a few vendors, had one that had an actual review from a Pioneer 1000 owner who even posted a video. I was intrigued and and for $218 ordered them.

NOTE: The above lights fit P700, P1000, & Talon models and include everything needed for plug an play into OEM harness. The turn signal work perfect with the Turn Pro signal kit offered by the hondasxs club store.
Just got around to installing them this morning and my initial impressions are, I am impressed!
Out of the box these things are sturdy with an aluminum housing with built in cooling fins compared to the 100% plastic assembly of the OEM headlight housings. See Below:

I will have to wait until dark to properly adjust, and get a true impression in motion. But I am 95% positive I will not be disappointed at all. Pictures here do not do it justice compared to in person.
