Finally my bike is 100% LEDs now!
With the exception of the headlight, which is HID.
I only had the four regular OEM bulbs in the warning/indicators, which is a smaller(T6.5) size compared to the dash lights(T10)
So after some searching on eBay, I found the proper size, placed my bid, and won, all for the price of $1.51 USD with free shipping, and 10 of them to boot.(according the stamp it cost them $3.40 USD in shipping)
They arrived today, and these things are tiny, but they have 5 small SMD LEDs per bulb, 3 top/2 side, very cool looking BTW.
Unfortunately the weather here was gone to cold, windy crap, so I'll have to wait for better weather for sure.
I will most definitely follow-up with pictures, and write up, when I get a warmer day for sure,
stay tuned folks.
UPDATE 03/12/2015
Well finally had nice weather, and I installed the LEDs, and the pictures below shows the difference, OEM Vs LED, LED picture is the one with the high beam lite.
Unfortunately you can't do the turn indicator, due to the polarity issue, but the other three are done, and look nice, and slightly brighter then the OEM bulbs.
If one wants to have the turn indicator bulb also, you'll need to install 2 diodes. this means cutting into the OEM wiring, which I may due at a later date.
FINAL VERDICT: Is this update/modification needed, absolutely NOT. To be honest I was just bored and decided to do it.
