LED Indicator Bulbs

Post by D6Nutz »

As title. I'm looking to replace the indicator bulbs in the RSV with some LED ones.

Has anyone found any that have built in resistors so they don't flash like lunatics ??

I have some Rizoma which are good but surprisingly the Oxford ones I have are nicer. There Oxford nano which are the smallest road legal ones on the market.
Both come with resistors.

I have the oxford nanos on the rear of my bike, tiny but everyone comments on how bright they are when they are behind me

On the rsv it's just the bulbs as the indicators are all built in. If you find a good replacement post up d6nutz as I'd be untreated in swapping mine

I have LED bulbs in my standard indicators ... I was going to put resistors in and went to see an auto electrician about it.

With my OEM flasher relay, he said I didnt need a resistor and told me to swap the poles which I did.
That was 4 years ago and (touch wood) they've worked ever since.

I did go for a bulb with LEDS all over like the ones here http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Pair-of-Amber ... 3a933acbd1" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
