how bright are those 15k LEDS? I'm waiting on mine from Hong Kong. I got 20 of them with the resistor and leads for only $15.

us the 5mm ones mate, and get some of those led clips, that you put in the hole, i drilled the holes 6.5mm, and it was just big enough.... and regarding brightness, i think you could probably see them from space!!!!, check my post up a few and you will see what they are like at night, ..... i only put 3 in each pegmount!!!..


peace

is it possible to wire the leds in as a brake light and a turn signal?

i think you could but would need you work out the resistance you would need for both the park lights and the brake lights, or you could run both the park and brake to the led with a single 150ohm i think, and you would get the dim and bright.... help me out ppl, or have i led him down the garden path?

That mod looks like of cool (though, I prefer the integrated signals into the taillight.....on the RR). Anyway, if you guys haven't checked it out yet, I used to do a LOT of LED mods for my car. I used this website for all my LED needs.

http://www.superbrightleds.com

Hope this helps. They have a LOT of LED products and such.

I bought some LEDs from superbrightleds.com. Orange LED's part number: RL5-O4030 & part number: RL5-O5015 . Is this the correct bulb? Cause It kept on popping/burning out whenever I turn my signal on. I connect the wire correctly (Green /Black - & Red to +). What am I doing wrong? Please help.

mate did you fit resistors to each lead?... from memory they need to at least 150ohms, if you run straight 12V through them you will kill them...

resistor calculator

you should have all the appropriate info to fill in the blanks.

hope this helps...

I have a 600RR and I integrated 3 led's into each side of my tail fairing for blinkers. Looks sick, cost $9.99, and they blink normally. Bought them from Pep Boys for $4.99 per 3. Great mod.Heres a short vid. Dont be fooled, they are very bright in person my camera is dark for some reason.
