LED Indicator lamps
« on: 21 August 2020, 04:18:09 pm »
Hi all,


Has anyone found a UK legal replacement LED indicator lamp that works! Straight swap, no fiddling required?

+1, did that on my FZS1000, Bandit1200 and my current Bandit 1250. Although on the FZS I fitted BikeIT small Flexi-stemp inidcators & Indy spacers. Its sorta retained the OEM look while being less obtrusive. And its what I will be putting on my FZ1 when I get it -

I've tried a few different ones over the years from the usual cheap chinese ones, the budget halfords (still Chinese)ones, Oxford ones (Avoid) and have now settled on the genuine Yamaha replacements. I have to say they are by far the best ones I've had. They are seriously bright, well made and they actually look more natural with the bike unlike some of the other aftermarket stuff

Heres a link to the cheapest price I can find for the ones I have

You can change the flasher relay if you want or they come with in line resistors to correct the flash rate. Only need 2 resistors for all 4 and I put them on the back 2 so they could be tucked out of the way in the tail.
I've run resistors for about 3 years in total now without any issues

Yes I have base plates from previous aftermarket indicators, you'll need 2 for every indicator
The cheap plastic ones work great
