[QUOTE="kmanflyer, post: 1405497, member: 91752"] This thread was a huge help in the quest to change my Gen 1 over to all LED's and since I had to tear the front cowl off for other repairs anyway. There are 3 white colors now all 120 degree beam angle, (Cool 6600K, Natural 3800K, Warm 3200K). For the 4 back lights I wanted to somewhat keep the stock color, so I went with the Warm 3200K and they turned out to match pretty good. They are brighter but not overly so. Since the old bulbs worked but were all blackened they were pretty dim. Now they look like Ignacio's stock picture but slightly brighter. Just what I was after. There is still slight hot spots but not bad. For the 4 indicator lights, (5 for ABS model), I matched the bulb color with the lens color. Again I got lucky and it turned out like I had hoped. Warning: they are brighter but not as bright as Fred's picture with the white bulb. For me I had a hard time seeing the neutral light in the sunlight so it works for me. I don't ride much at night but if you think the stock bulbs are too bright I probably wouldn't change them to these. The turn signals indicators I did the same matched bulb color to lens and they are bright, but it helps me not to leave them on. At night they might be too bright for some. The Neo5's worked for the turn signals and the Neo3's for the others. Matching the bulb color to the lens color helps with the overly bright effect. But they are still brighter than stock. Thanks to all who contributed to this thread it helped greatly.[IMG]https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
