ok guys so i got a few wled-x5 and wled-x6 lights to do the idiot lights and the speedo and tacko

now it turns out that the wled-x6/x5 lights don't fit the newer models idiot light but there do fit the speedo and tacko

B. what sized LED should i use for the idiot lights and if you have a link even better
:2guns:

You need T-5 LEDs. Then add 2 diodes to the turn signal LED so it still works.

Some info is in this thread:

The 24-xhp
I guess in incandescent's they're called T-5's. Smaller than the T-10's. You can shave down the base of a T-10 to fit but better to get the right thing.

The lamps in the newer instrument thingys pull out. Grab the wires with pliers and wiggle them out.
