But, your leds look very good and I hope, each from 68SMD is so strong as each from mine 38 SMD. In such case those 68SMD it will be best leds available on market.

If you receive, please give answer how bright are they and if it will be posible, measure consumed power
I had 38 SMD in for a couple weeks then came across the 68. I figured, what the heck, I'll give them a shot. They are a good bit brighter and fill the housing much better. As far as any kind of illumination on the road, there is no change, but they are brighter when looking at the bike from the front.
I'm not sure if it's the 30 more SMDs that make the difference or the fact that both sets were from china and quality control is poor, who knows. I use a 38 in the license plate light now, really cleans and brightens up the look of the back of the bike at night.

Installed leds yesterday!!
Got amber leds for the position lights. I have to say, it looks more aggressive with the amber than it did with the stock bulbs.
I also put a license plate led in.


this is what it looks like now


the difference between the two. i used an iphone 5 for the pics, so they arent that great


close up of the position bulb.

Doubt it's the same seller, but same t10 wedge 68 smd led bulbs. A pair for $5. It will take 2-3 weeks to get here, but it's half the price of the US sellers.

As far as legality, They are very white and have a hint of blue to them, not so much that you would call it "blue" though, just a tint. Had them on 6 months and been all over WV, OH, PA, MD, VA and DC with no hassles from the lawmen.

No one thought about using running lights as indicators and throw away the ones in the fairings?

Modification time - 5mins

1. Buy leds there 2 T10 168 194 158 White 38 SMD LED Light Bulb Lamp 12V | eBay (keyword 38 LED T10) - I can recommend seller eleseed which ships during few hours). Those leds are the best I ever bought - they consume 2,5W each, so they are very bright, much brighter than 5W bulbs

2. Then wait 2 weeks for shipment

3. Using hand change bulbs into leds ( you have to unscrew rubber mount)

4. Enjoy modification





Left - LED, right original bulb



Thanks for sharing your views even I prefer using led lights
