How is the led light going , no blown bulb yet ? I would think they should last a long time. Hmmm another job to do ! Is it a straight out plug and play, no splicing of wiring ? Did you do the small parker at the front as well, they are prettty cheap .

I've swapped my sidelight for these



Tucked up inside the indicator pods. Not done the headlight yet, though I may upgrade that to HID, if I get the mood on me.

so far still going good ,i use bike every day with lights on .no splicing to do but you may have to change the positions of wires in the H4 socket . as for the park light i used flexible strips glued inside the head light shell 5on the left 5 on right and 3 above the reflector

Ooh, that is very purdy!

I don't ride at night, and I run with my headlight off during the day (for a Top Secret reason!), so I can't justify the expense of flash lighting, but I have swapped the parking light globe for an LED one, and the white light from that is much nicer than the yellow light from the the headlight. I have been thinking of trying to get a "bluer" bulb for main and dipped, but I'm not sure what colour temperature would match my parker, does anyone know how or where you can measure these things?

And if anyone IS mucking about with their front lights I'm still keen to find out what bulbs are in the instrument cluster.

Ooh, awesome, thanks very much for that, I bit the bullet and ordered purple ones, they only had them in pairs so I bought a total of 8, I'll post an update when the job is done. Now I just need to buy a replacement for the rubber well nut that I noticed was FUBAR last time I had the front end apart...
