To be honest, not much difference, I personally wouldn't do this again unless i had bulbs out in the dash cluster!
Tried blue LEDs in the clocks but it was too hard to make them out. Tried red, and although you could see and read the clocks I've stuck with white as there must be an orange membrane on the back of the tacho and speedo as the trip counter and mileage light up white, the numbers are still orange.
They are brighter than stock though.
I left the bulb for the top of the rev range and coolant temp. red as I quite like the higher revs red
. Looks pretty sweet. The bike is still in bits though so may change all the clock lights to white so they are all uniform.
Was gonna write a how to with pics but i already had the bike in bits, so basically:
1. All the fairings off (including screen)to be able to get the nose off/out of the way
2. Clocks out (3x 8mm bolts) then it's a case of unplugging the dash from the back (2x plugs) and removing them.
3. Replace one bulb at a time rather than take all the existing ones out, makes it easier to replace with correct colour LED.
--->The LEDs ( http://www.superbrightleds.com/cat/i...r,T1.5,21,223: ) need to be inserted the correct way, so test them before you put the bike back together. If they don't work, simply take them out and turn them 180degrees.
You could change the bulbs with the clocks in situ but I've torn my hand to pieces doing it and wouldn't recommend it!
I defo recommend using the same colour LED for the instrument lights, 1x blue for high beam, 3x amber for turn signals and side stand, 1x red for oil, 1x green for neutral, and 4x white for the clocks (amber may work as do red, but white illuminate better, blue are not very good).
Anyone need any help with it just give me a shout and ill see if I can help.
EDIT: I'll take some photos tomorrow of the different bulbs in place to show people the difference in illumination. Also a photo of the back of the unit and bulb locations. sort of like a mini how-to.
EDIT: Photos... (apologies for the poor photos, iPhone isn't a brilliant camera.
