Title: Led turn and stop light bulbs
Post by: ccsct203 on April 01, 2012, 03:03:04 PM
 Has anyone upgraded their turn signals and stop light bulbs to LED?
I found these on www.superbrightleds.com (http://www.superbrightleds.com)

turn signals

1156-x2W-ARA: Adjustable 2 Watt Right Angle BA15S bulb
Options: 1156-A2W-ARA: Amber


Stop light bulbs

1157-R19W6: Motorcycle Dual Function Tail 25-LED 1157 Bulb
Options: 1157-R19W6: 1157 19 Red LEDs 6 White LEDs

Thoughts?

I had to add a resistor load pack when I switched to newer style signal on my 1985 already

Yup, switched everything I own away from filament style taillights.  Vibration has killed too many at inconvienient times for me through the years.  Switched to a fixed-rate flasher relay also, my original unit had died a death and the cost was the same.

Of course, this was all before these (http://rpmracingca.com/products.asp?cat=30) became available.  A little pricy maybe, but if I have to screw with my tail/turn lights one more time, it's all getting torn off and one of these put on.

I tried LED turn signals but they did not show up very well in bright sunlight.
I used orange bulbs and clear lenses in the end to get the individual look.
