LED vs Incandescent turn signals
I'm trying to make a final decision for my front turn signals. I have decided that I will be using stockish style stalk signals, not flushmounts..
I have found some that are std bulbs (1156ish I guess) that I like and then there are similar ones with multiple LEDs. Right now, my bike has small stalk mounted LED signals, and they look good but I want them bigger...
then I came across this:

It might even be a member on here... what do you all think? Is LED 'better' in this instance or just cooler looking? In a perfect world, I could get both out of one.. lol
Thanks,
Adam

The LEDs in the video are rather dim. Small signals don't have to also be dim. I have small aftermarket incandescent rear signals that are plenty bright. I did not go with flush mount because they are too hard to see unless you are almost directly behind the bike, at least the ones I've seen. Mine came with my EvoTech tail tidy.
ya, those ones in the vid are very dim. I'll have to find out from a friend of mine that is running some narrow stalk ones, but they are brighter than stock ones. But I would check around and buy some decent leds, I'd skip the ones in the vid.
Here are the ones that I am looking at:
The LED ones:


with these as covers for the base (on the black side)

....and the standard incandescent ones:


The LEDs do look bright.. the ones I have are great, just too small IMO..
