Default resistors for LEDS

I just ordered these LEDS
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

and could not find any resistors around town. I used this to calculate the resistor LED Resistor Calculator


I got 17OHMS with 2.55W. We have lot of resistors at home but unmarked. I know you can look up the colors of the bands but that still does not help me with how much wattage it gives out.

Does anyone have a place I can buy these? Can I run lower/higher ohms? For example, can I add (2) 1w resistors with say 20ohms to satisfy what I need? What does the ohms for resistors control specifically?

Go to Superbright LEDS and get an electronic flasher relay to replace your stock one. No resistors, no wiring modifications. It can handle up to 4 LEDs or mix and match - regular bulbs on the front and LEDs on the rear. They will all blink at the normal rate.

Scroll down the page for the motorcycle applications. I have the LF1-S-FLAT on my '08 1000RR. The plug matched the OEM connector perfectly.

+1 just plug and go....mine is 94 CBR 900 and I purchase same one as Roadijeff....it's amazing! To be 100% sure, just pull your relay out to compare but Likely same.

Perfect fit and I just had to zip tie it. Kept my oem relay if I ever decide to go back.

Order it from superbrightled on like Friday, showed on Monday...standard shipping. Couldn't be more happier!!! Tks Roadijeff ...
