Not super exciting or crucial, I know, but I got a few of these yesterday and I put them in my gauge cluster this morning, and what a difference it makes brightness-wise! Now I can see the neutral light even if the sun shines directly on the gauge, which I couldn't before, and same thing if I forget to turn the blinkers off - can't miss it... 2 ambers, one green and one blue + 1 white. The blue in particular will transform the high beam light, it's a very pretty blue!

Bike is now 100% LED-powered.

Yeah, we want to see too! :lol:

:-D I was in a rush to get them in so I didn't get very good pictures, I think I should have made them darker to better see the difference, as it is it's not really striking, but it really is IRL...

Incandescents first (left bulb was blown out):


LEDs (all on):

Yessir!

Nice!!! Do you have one or two bulbs per gauge? I thought mine was two but it turned out to be only one, so I guess I have a spare now... a dark light bulb would be kind of cool too... :-D

I gotta do this on a bike..looks great. Im not normally and led guy, but I like.

I have LEDs in the gauge illumination of my 450 and it is absolutely better... but I did use a standard bulb for the neutral light so it wouldn't be offensively bright at night (on the off chance I'm riding home from somewhere after dark with the 450, not generally happening)

Haven't tried it at night yet. Maybe I'll get a less bright bulb for the winter when it's dark when I leave for work

Be careful with the blue LEDs. The blue spectrum can hurt your eyes if they're too bright. Can be very distracting at night.

Has anybody tried the single leds ba9's they sell at SBL? I like the thought of only 0.4 to 0.7 watt usage they advertize.

Sorry for the late response guys. I used 1 bulb per gauge (I think? I did this mod in like 2010...) and I used a white LED.

Different bulbs. The ones that I used are so old, they don't show up on Google anymore. I think I got the link from DoTheTon.com back in the early 2010's...
