LED turn signals vs factory

I compare some Shock Racing LED turn signals to my factory Honda CBR F3 signals with incandescent bulbs. It seems the factory bulbs are brighter. Since I want vehicles behind me to know when im about to slow down to make a turn, I think im going to keep the factory signals.

Ok u shouldnt compare clears to ambers.. Its very clear which is going to be more visible in daylight.. U must not have much common sense!

Theyre both amber lights. The LED signals are only a clear lens with AMBER LED's. Thanks for playing.

you made the right choice, you want to be as visible as you can be. Especially in the daytime.

Hey, if you use a trailer light converter, you can use your turnsignals as running lights too.

lol yeah i like to give drivers as much information as possible when im on the bike. im actually workin on one and i hate wires, im trying to run my own circuit seperate from the main harness due to the prior owner messing things up. i know i need flashers, some say i need one flasher for everypair so i need 2 flashers...i picked up oem suzuki lights, not sure if they are blinkers or running, they are clear lens but the bulbs are amber, dont know if its any different. as long as i have flashers?

What would look nice is the pointy turnsignals that Honda has on the American model of the PCX.

@ninjabynight6 lenses act as filters by absorbing other frequencies of light. How do they make anything brighter?

@meanmike55 Hi..

then try AMBER lens with clear LED's

[ninjabynight6]

If the LED housings were amber, it would show a brighter amber light...

I bought the same ones, too bad I didn't see this vid first. Refunded em and then I bought a different model, 18 LEDs, cost me 30 $ but it's much better than this crap. Sellers pay these between 1.99 and 3.99 wholesale and sell em for 30 bucks.

i guess it depends on what kind you buy, because its sometimes difficult to see LED lights on a bright day. And on i motorcycle i would imagine that very bad
