[Dustydes]

Des, not sure about the kit on eBay I've had no dealings with that but my bike is a 2003 model.

Glad it worked, it's a subtle mod but well worth doing.

I just did the indicator bulbs but for the cost I think I will do the lot, I will report back when it's done.

Might go for blue ones for the clocks but will get some white ones as well in case they look shite

Be good if you could put photos of before & after leds fitted

Did this mod to the indicators and neutral light over lunch today - ~30 mins from start to finish. Got my LEDs from crazyleds as linked to previously in this thread - much better visibility for the indicators for <£3.00 - job's a good 'un!


You do need to test the LEDs are in the right way round before refitting everything. My neutral was OK but both indicators were the wrong way round, then cocked up and only fixed one - but did not add much time!


cheers

Well I thought I would jump on the band wagon but went the whole hog and fitted blue LED's for the back lighting, Total cost was under £7 and only took 45 min

That's really cool, could you post up the part numbers / spec of the LEDs that you used, are they all the same fitment and it's just a case of ordering the colours you need? I didn't know if the backlights would be different to the idiot lights?

/Edit: Also how many LEDs do you need for the backlights?

[AyJay]

Nice! Very sophisticated look there.

In answer to your question these are the LED's I bought

The same as Fazerjon


I ordered 5x Blue 4 for the back light and one for High Beam


3x green Indicators and neutral


1x red Oil


Total bill under £7


When I took the old back lights out they where all showing black stains on the glass showing they were on there last legs and not giving as much light as they used to so difference is very noticable.

Thanks guys I found some LED replacement bulbs on Amazon so I'll update the post once I've fitted them.....

Can you post a link to what you bought? I have been thinking about doing the same thing

[Fazerjon]

This is the link to the ones I bought, but there is a drop down for the other colours if you want to go the whole hog, I only did the green indicators.
