Please replace the full headlamp and not just the bulb. The reflector on your current headlamp is made for the light output profile of the halogen bulb, and just replacing that with the LED bulb will change the overall throw of the headlamp. In fact it can be blinding to the oncoming traffic, and very unsafe for you.

Full led assemblies with reflectors are made with the right cutoffs so that the road is illuminated but the oncoming drivers are not blinded.

The interceptor and continental GT both take 7" dia assemblies, which are easy to find on Amazon etc.

DOT 7 Inch Motorcycle LED... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B074PQ8T2B is an example of one that works. They are just $30 more than just the bulb, and are entirety worth the investment from a safety and law POV.

If you're looking to go with an LED, you can find pretty decent complete setups on Amazon for around $80-100 or so, and a little less that that for a halogen. Don't forget the fork mounting brackets either; I believe they are 41mm.

If you go LED, there are a number of different options, such as black, chrome, various other colors, integrated signals, halo, etc.

You could also get a halogen lamp, then get a replacement H4 LED bulb. In my experience the LEDs do not illuminate as well at a distance compared to the halogens, but the halogen lamp with an LED bulb from Super Bright LEDs does a pretty fair job. I don't do a ton of night riding so it's not as big a concern.

Edit:

Some various Amazon products for an LED setup:

A cheaper halogen option with optional LED upgrade:

Definitely do some research, there are tons of options out there... and that LED bulb will fit your factory lamp, but I'm not 100% certain it will fit that Amazon lamp. It miiight... but there's a chance it won't. But it might.

Also pay attention to color temperature. The cool white colors above 5K are super obnoxious in my opinion... but that's me.

Amazon is definitely hit and miss. I’ve had this one for a few years now on my 83 Goldwing. I highly recommend it. Some guys at Sturgis we’re wondering how I got a daymaker on my Honda...lol
