I don't have a colored one in my tail light, and it seems fine. So far, that's the only place I've put one. I do have some for the instruments but haven't tried any yet as I still have a small supply of originals left.
I’m sure it is fine. When the LED matches the lens, none of the light is blocked. They’re brighter. How much? We need a side by side comparison.I don't have a colored one in my tail light, and it seems fine
Of course, it would illuminate red. I assume your ? is does the law approve? I expect the law has not addressed that. I'm familiar with the Georgia law that says "Must be illuminated." So, rather than test that, I would probably choose to do as you and go with white.How would a red light work for that?
find a 7" headlight reflector for an H4 bulb then pick up a QUALITY H4 LED keeps the vintage look, but WOW you can see the road at night.
The XS1100 and a few other Yamahas used an H4 headlight so used is possible, otherwise automotive 7" H4 shells work too.
I've run 3 or 4 XS650's with LEDs
I had a 70 converted to all LED lighting, Madness is all LED also.
Online for gauge and turn signal will save a bunch. Walmart has some of the bulbs but they are a bit spendy too. Some of the cheap bulbs are crappy, caveat emptor.
The good ones used to be pretty deep but they're smaller now and don't have a separate power supply. I have one in an early headlight bucket with room to spare. GOOD LED's will give nearly the same light as a conventional H4 with a sharper cut off line, cuz there's less light scatter than a filament gives off.I have an H-4 reflector shell that came with my Ultra. The PO put a daymaker in and at that time it was a total replacement so I was given the reflector and frame when I bought the bike. I’ve looked at the LED replacements and replacing them correctly seems pretty straight forward however with the way they’re made how much further into the headlight bucket does it extend? Plenty of room?
I'm ordering 10 each of these in white, green, yellow, and red. for instrument and indicator lighting.I ordered a pack of 10 for my instruments. I’ll see how that works out.
Some of the jewels in my early gauges are badly faded. Especially the amber.I thought about ordering an assortment pack but I wanted to see what a white would look like under the gems. Easy enough to change them out if I don’t like it.
There's ways to "fix" that if you're creative.If the taillight is also the number plate light then a white one is needed
According to the (often fallible) partzilla fiches, 81 to 82 was the changeover to the T10 wedge base in the US of AWhat year did the clock lights change from bayonet bulbs to whatever it is we call the newer ones? (I was going to say new)
Thank you. I need to swap all of those to LED. They constantly fail.According to the (often fallible) partzilla fiches, 81 to 82 was the changeover to the T10 base in the US of A

If you put LEDs in the turn signals, you will need a no-load flasher to go with them and your self-cancel feature is negated.
