Dash lights

Flashy · June 18th, 2012, 04:28 PM

So I was wondering if anyone had switched out the bulbs in the stock dash with LEDs of a different color? Or maybe some advice on if this is even possible

Thanks guys

Swapped mine for green and white ones, remember there is a film inside there that is to tinted blue so the colors can get a tad bit off. Looks cool as hell though. Don't change the blinker one as the led doesnt work in that slot.

And don't touch the bulb with bare-fingers right?

This is mostly for incandecent bulbs, LEDs dont get hot enough to create a hotspot and burst when skin oils are left on it

These are the ones I used, can't remember off the top of my head how many is required.

Tach, speedo, oil, highbeams, turn indicator, water temperature, neutral, fuel gauge. 8?

The blinkers themselves worked just the dummy light on the dash would only work if I used left, right would not blink. I you have a diod kit it may work normal though I am not sure.

Switched mine out 2 days ago for green LEDs from tutti racing I think. They are 194 type bulbs just do a google search. I changed the fuel, tach, speedo, and neutral just because they come in packs of 2

. There's a thread on this site how to remove fairings and the front end. Fairly simple took me an hour for the first time ever taking the bike apart.
