Led Tail Lite Bulbs

[fjrtx]

Have seen Led replacement bulbs for sale on Ebay. Looks like they are a simple change out of the existing bulb. Has anybody tried them? How much brighter are they or is it just a waste of money?

They're actually dimmer from what I've seen. Here's what I put on my bike and it works pretty good. Clicky here.

I sell LED's, because I sell undertails and you can't sell an undertail in this day and age if it does not have LED's.

But to answer your question, your incandescent bulbs are brighter.

I looked at the LED's, and decided against them, for the same reasons as above-dimness (them, not me asshats). Liked the idea of low heat and less juice use, but the trade wasn't a good idea to me.

Thanks for the info. Saved me time and money.

Some vehicles have problems with converting to LEDs due to the LED not having much resistance......

No, I don't have an email addy for them. Mine is mounted on the bottom of my Givi adapter plate, at a good height for being seen. I got the direct wired version and installed it upside-down so it lights up whenever the brakes are hit. It seems to be pretty visible as I had some other riders comment on it at the Sequoia ride.

True, as it applies to turn signals. If you have LED's, your are going to have to change the flasher unit or install resistors.
