Hey Roger,
What intencity did you use? The 24 LED or 32 LED's? If I want to use my exsisting red lens, should I still use a red LED or a white LED?

Gill, I believe you may have meant to direct your question to TimBuckTwo, not me, based on this excerpt from his post:
" I installed non-spinning ones after hearing about R/R problems and the electrical loads the system can handle. I now havea pair ofbright round running/break lights instead of the whole lens. I like the new look. It looks more modern"

Sorry I can't help, but I'm sure TBT can.

Gill, I am not sure of your question. If you are asking about the tail/break LEDs I used, I used the red.
If you are asking about the GIVI E41 light addition, I have not purchased them. I was only pointing them out to Shadow1 as he was looking
for bright tail sectionlighting for the fog.

That was my question, I wasnt sure if you used red or white LED's for the brake/tail light thats all. I picked some red1157'sup today for 4.99 at a local auto parts place. I'll let you know how they look later once I install them.....

Thanks

Gill,
There is a post in the forum about how to turn the rear running/break lights into turning/running/break lights.
Once you install the LEDs a bet you will be thinking about doing that, I am thinking about it as you can clearly see two separate bulbs.
Please post how you like the new look.

The original thread was hazard lights and to stay on tract with the original post, I think the LEDs are brighter (safer), also post on your
thoughts.

Hi again TBT - another advantage of the LED's is they draw very little CURRENT, always a good thing on a Hurricane....! I'm now trying to figure out how to install LED tail lights through the small standard bulb holes.......fun ! I have a spare tail light unit, and may experiment with that....
think I'll have to cut some holes, though...?

Shadow1, just like Gill stated, the LED 1157 is a direct pop-in.

http://superbrightleds.com/specs/1157-x24.htm

Search on; LED 1157

I found mine at a locac auto store. They do not coast much. Shop for a good price. E-bay also has them at a good price.

Here is an example of what is available in LED.

Edit:
Here in the states, all new motor vehicles will require LED lighting by the year 2012.
