LED bulbs
The turn signals and the brake light from my Intruder 1400. When I searched on eBay there were thousands of bulbs for sale. I want ones that will fit into the original parts. I saw some very high price and some very cheap, what are some of your recommendations.

Looks cool, but not putting in $123.

Re: LED bulbs
Generally speaking the more leds the more light however... you can refer to the lumens if they are so rated to get a better idea of the illumination each bulb provides.

Re: LED bulbs
hmm, I have always just looked on the package for the words "LED." I will have to buy some new LED rear lights for the trailer as soon as I get it fixed up. As it is now some of the lights don't light up properly.

Re: LED bulbs
Yep, I've used them before as well. I started using the cree leds for turn signals, amazingly bright when they flash. [emoji106]

Re: LED bulbs
One of these days, I'll do LED in my turn signals, and instead of fitting a diode, I will separate the left and right idiot wires so as to make a left blinker and a right blinker...so if I leave turn signal on.....I'll know which side is flashing... ...but really, just so it looks cool.
