6 watt parking light F-models

[Yankee Punker]

05' GS500F , I replaced the  H-4 bulb with a sylvainia silverstar, much better than stock. Its got a whiter, crisper light that just seems to light up the road better than stock. Well I would really love to find a replacement for that crappy looking 6 volt bulb for the parking light under the main high/low bulb. Its just got that dim yellow look to it, and its driving me crazier than normal ! Has anyone done any mods, or has anyone found a differant bulb ? ?

All bulbson a 12 volt bike are 12 volt - you must mean 6 watt - My 2001 does not have the bulb you are talking about - but why not try a white LED?

[Yankee Punker]

Yes, you are right its a 6 watt bulb.  My bad.    Would love to find an LED replacement ?

I actually have a color changing LED in there...

MJM - only the f models have the bulb.

I can't find a picture of the product on the net.  It's a 7-color changing LED blub...  I'll try and take a video clip tonite for ya, providing my valve cover gasket change goes well.

Dude. That looks AWESOME!!!!! And since it is LED it doesn't draw hardly any power!

[annguyen1981]

Thankz Alpha!

Now doesn't that clip make you wish you kept your fairings on?

I think I know where the package is, so I'll take a picture of it and post it up sometime today.

No, because I think I could hide that somewhere pretty easily on my bike, possibly even wire a bunch of them up, and have a "parking light" bike light-up show!

Hey Annguyen, how does that look with the headlight on?  Is there any way we could talk you into taking another video with the headlight on?

I can't upload the second right now because the putfile.com site is overloaded???  Oh well

[Alphamazing]

Not nearly as cool in the daytime. That's a cool nighttime thing though!

[annguyen1981]

Yeah.  I'm gonna take another clip tonight and hopefully I can upload the file.

Looking on Superbrights, I have no idea which bulb would be suitab;e as a replacement  from parking light?

also, in general, roughly how many watts do these led replacement lights draw?

from memory from uni physics....

P=IV

Power (watts) = current (amps) X potential difference (volts) 

[porsche4786]

ever get that video? The light always does that, even when headlight is on?


also, I'm trying to take mine out, is there a secret or am I completely worthless? I tried turning it and pulling, just pulling, and it seems pretty dang snug. I'm guessing I'm just too scared of breaking something so I don't try hard enough.

hey, uh..... would LOVE to know if you ever found out, or remembered, where you got the color changing LED from....
