New Blinkers
So I was not happy with the first set of blinkers that I purchased. (Purchased them on ebay from China. Cheap pieces of sheettt)
So I recently purchased these, still from ebay, but from a much reputable dealer. I purchased 2 pairs, so they would match for the rear and front. These are 10x brighter and larger than the other blinkers I had on there. Would highly recommend to anyone if you are looking to get new LED Blinkers. Here is the ebay link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/231003020131...84.m1497.l2649 Check out the pics! |

AH thank you! Those are actually the ones (or similar from another company) I have been looking at and may buy. Are they straight plug and play or did you need to wire up the OEM connector? Any trouble with the four sets of LEDs or did a new relay/diode ensure they blinked correctly?

I previously installed a new flasher relay as well as the diode kit a while back when I first got my other set of LED blinkers. In order to get these to blink correctly, the flasher relay and diode kit is a must. Very simple to install. I did it in under 10 minutes. In regards to connecting these blinkers, I had to purchase this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/330925197979...84.m1497.l2649 Since my bike did not have blinkers installed when I purchased the bike, I had to buy that connector to attach to the stock connector on the bike. From there I just wired the blinkers to bullet connectors, and then attached the bullet connectors to the female bullet connector end of the adapter that I previously purchased. Very simple process. Now I have matching blinkers and am very happy. Great price for very well lit and noticeable blinkers. I feel much safer now that people will easily see these blinkers compared to my terrible other blinkers. |

Thank you. I see they also have an integrated LED tail light and flush mount front blinkers. May give them a shot come next payday to get rid of the remaining bulbs i have.

I've been able to get high quality bulbs for my car to LED the heck out of it, and they look good during the day (at least same brightness as stock bulbs). However, the Ninja, every LED bulb I get is always dimmer (in daylight) than the stock one. I was able to get a good one for the brake light, but that's about it.
Since this is a module with LEDs directed out rather than relying on the reflection of the house (which suck on the ninja 250 turn signals), are these as bright or brighter than the stock bulbs during the data (aka ambient sunlight)? |

However, I can tell you this. Standing 10 feet away from the back of my bike, especially at night, and looking directly at these blinkers makes my eyes cringe as the leds are extremely bright. I was actually shocked at how bright these LEDs are. My girlfriend was following behind me one day in our car and I asked her how the new blinkers looked. She said they were very noticeable. Hope I was able to answer your question the best that I could. |

If it will help, i have also ordered these (well, the clear lens ones vs the smoke) so i will take a pic of the stock blinker vs the LEDs when I install them. Just give the slow boat a chance to get here.

I would appreciate that! Went though a few drop in LED bulbs that I thought would work good but don't, so would like to see some now before I buy!

My camera sucks but here's some comparisons...
The lights themselves Stock blinker (sorry had the brake lever tied down) LED blinker Both (stock laid on top, LED installed) Intensity is more IMO as its a more direct light coming back vs kind of a general light all around. Regardless, very happy I got these.

I think their store will be back when the holiday is over. I can't see their store either.
Its raining the rest of the week. If its sunny on saturday I'll roll the bike out and get pics as I can compare them to a video i took last year.

Not a problem! I am glad people found this thread useful. When I first installed these I was very surprised how bright they were. I knew they would be a great replacement to the stock blinkers for other members, so I had to share!

And some daylight shots...
I think the difference was simply the angle I was standing at, one is not brighter than the other in reality. Hurm.... Just saw my truck tire is low. Oopsie
