LED lights

Post by Neal »

Thinking of changing out all the lights this winter. Is there a final agreement with all on what lights actually work as 'plug-and-Play' or are we still 'experimenting'? :hmm:

I swapped all my dash lights and had issues. All the bulbs worked per se, but I had some strange issues that cleared up as soon as I put the regular bulbs back in.

As per some people on another site, I went on eBay and looked up this seller for all my led lights. His name is dt-autotech and remember to not go cheap on LEDs. You'll have issues for sure. For example, for me to swap out 4 brake lights and 4 turn signal lights, it cost me $54.00, however, I did try cheaper ones before and ran into issues. Spend the extra money and get better bulbs. And don't forget to change out your turn signal relay with a LED ready relay.

The only issue I have is some electrical feedback keeps the turn signal indicators on the dash on in a dim mode.

I have an 8000k H4 bi-xenon headlight as well. Didn't want to go with led there. Big thing is to make sure you get the correct wattage or else you'll get your headlight bulb idiot light staying on. I have a 55w bulb in and don't have an issue. Someone else had used a 35w and it kept telling him his bulb was out because it wasn't pulling enough wattage.

On my bike, the only thing I haven't changed to LEDs is the dashboard. And that's just because I haven't had the balls to tear that apart lol. But all other lighting is LED. Including all the glow strips on my bike.

And if you click on any of the images, you can go and see the videos of my led turn signals working and also my brake lights which do the strobe for 8 flashes and then go solid. I must say go and get them.. They are super bright and definitely make you stand out going down the road.
