XmisterIS Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 One of my rear indicators is knackered - it leaks and is getting increasingly rusty inside (I only just found out because the bulb went pop and I've just taken it to bits).So for the meantime, I've put a cheap bulb in from Halfords, but I want to upgrade to superbright LED indicators.The question is, can I just take the old indicators off and put LED ones straight on without any mods, or do I need to fit a different relay and resistor for each indicator?

al_stu Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 Never done it on a bike, but when my mate did it to his clio they were just straight replacements, no changes needed other than the bulb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 You will need either a relay or resistors I have always done the resistor route as the relays are hit and miss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XmisterIS Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Hmmm ... I might just go ahead and do a plain old bulb-type indicator replacement because it's easy and they're cheap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk190 Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 in the process of doing this to my R1. 4xLED indicators costs £16 and a relay was £12. you can buy LED indicators with resistors already fitted but i chose to place my trust in a relay rather than a 2p resistor. personal choice.

Lumor_uk Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 On my xr125 when I replaced the indicator instrument bulb with an led it would only work when turning right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
