Title: Bulb type/LED question
Post by: stefman722 on December 14, 2004, 08:41:20 PM
hey guys,

I am ordering stuff from superbrightleds.com and had a question. I know the brake/tail light is a 1157 bulb. Now what i am wondering is what kind is the turning signal bulb. My last question was if the tach and speedo both only take 1 bulb each. I think it takes the 194 bulb after ample research done on gstwins. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

T/s'es ... I think you'd put 3 or 5 or some such number on a board and solder it up with nifty things like current regulators and voltage limitors ... and pretty much torch the retinas of everyone behind ya ... straight into iwring LED's get killed by current ...
Cool.
