Suggestions for bright led running/turn signals?


Recommended Posts

Did you change your turn signals to led's? I am looking for bright led/running lights. Prefer something that faces front (and side if possible). I will only get flush mount if I get indicators for handguards.

Looks clean. From the video the turn signals don't seem bright or have very good angle of view though.

I replaced the orange lenses with clear, and installed orange/white switchback LED bulbs. Excellent results... actually had to tone down the running white with a 50 ohm resistor. Turn function is very pronounced with the switchback.
Interesting. Where did you get clear lens? Those bulbs would work well in a slimmer enclosure with more side illumination.

Inexpensive amber LED "Bulbs" with low-load solid state turn signal relay. Total cost maybe $30 and 20 minutes. Bright as heck. Also added amber LED side panel light strips, auxiliary red Knight Rider type brake light strip in back edge of Shad top case rack, and LED driving lights on the Givi case guards.

Has anybody used the Yamaha Rear LED turn signals that are on the Yamaha.ca or .com website?
Do they work as running lights AND turn signals? How is the brightness?
 
The reason I ask is that they specifically say they can be used for the front but will not work as running lights in the front. The rear turn signals work as running lights so will the rear led lights work as running lights?

Do you have a link for the bulbs and relay?  Love to see pics of the side panel too.

Bear in mind I bought a used set of oem front turn signals and installed them in the rear, including tapping into the front TS turn signal positive so they have running and turn functions.

You need to change one pin position in the relay plug to match the oem plug.

Can you adjust the brightness of the Highspeedtech Photons down a little bit?
 
I think the solution I am going to go with is this:
 
1) Yamaha LED rear turn signals on my custom semi-tail tidy which I am hoping works with my side cases AND also use the turn-signal functionality of my Custom LED rear tail-light.
2) Photon or similar side LED blinkers flush mount on the fairing.
3) Stock oem, Acerbis or Bark Buster Hand Guards with LED's turn signals.
 
Hand guard turn signals will allow better visibility from the front.
Photon flush mount signals will allow better visibility from the side given my side cases.
 
Overall hoping to come up with a custom solution that works for me.
