Just randomly had a thought while reading a Jaycar catalogue - is it possible to convert the normal halogen tail lights to LEDs?
Obviously we're looking at a lot of LEDs and resistors, but I'm trying to think of any other issues that I might of missed...anybody see any obvious problem?

Jaycar carries them as well, as do most auto outlets.
I used them about 4 years ago. They worked great right until they didnt. They dont have quite as good light sideways - something to be carefull about for being hit from the side. |

These ones do, i have them in ones of the bikes and they work good. When the d**k smith ones die ill replace them with these.

I did think about that but I was more interesting a similar style to this, where the whole lense has lights?

No pre-made bulb replacement LEDs are useless, nowhere near bright enough.
I did this to my EL (no long gone), and have aftermarket LED taillights for the GT-P.     LEDs <> Regular Bulbs

I put all LED bayonet style globes in my EL..
The ones I chose had 72 LED's per globe and they are brighter than the normal globes.. more orange than yellow though. good stuff. |
