Hey guys
I think I've been having too much fun modding my bike while I cant ride it, (just about to be warm enough for me this weekend)
I upgraded my turn signals to buell lookalikes I got off of ebay, they look fine but have somewhat dim bulbs, less than stock, and I'm not too happy with them.
I was wondering if i can just swap in some LED 1157 bulbs and itll work (of course with an electronic relay) ?
Looking at these specifically http://www.superbrightleds.com/specs/115x-xLX3.htm (http://www.superbrightleds.com/specs/115x-xLX3.htm) -would this work since the signals have reflective housings,
or
Do I need to buy the right angle bulbs http://www.superbrightleds.com/specs/1156-x30.htm (http://www.superbrightleds.com/specs/1156-x30.htm)
http://www.superbrightleds.com/flashers.htm (http://www.superbrightleds.com/flashers.htm) -under motorcycle flashers would it be the pin or flat?
And also has anyone found nonpolarised #74 LEDs for the idiot lights yet? It doesnt seem like anyone makes them.
thanks in advance as always

It could, i haven't tried it myself. Watch out for overloading the LED. Most led indicators have multiple LED inside.
QuoteDo I need to buy the right angle bulbs
It depends on your indicators - If the housing/clip for the bulb is mounted on the side you will need right angle.
Quoteunder motorcycle flashers would it be the pin or flat?
do you need it? i though the flasher already on the bike is sufficient. It just needs you to raise the resistance.
Hopefully that helped :)
They are flat with 2 prongs at right angles. I think it's either the 1st or 3rd one.
