My first attempt at upgrading my tail light to LED's, after almost 200 solder joints.

  • I think I saw your writeup online...either way, I'm headed in this direction for my bike :)

  • @TCreatorO Or use an electronic flasher unit available from most car shops and mail order companies. They cost about £10 here in the UK. They have a small circuit inside to set the flash rate. It's a more modern version of the old flasher units with the strip that heats up and bends. the flasher units are availabe on ebay too.

  • Looks good man. I want to eventually do one myself, but with white and blue LEDs instead of red and yellow. How long did this take you?

  • Great job dude, but to fix that Fast blinking problem, you need to use one of those Big rectangular ceramic resistors that are sold in like autozone or pepboys, bc what happends is that the LEDs dont draw enough energy to make the burnt bulb sensor to stay off, su it flashes the lights like if it had a bad bulb, but if you add the big resistor it will draw enough energy to make everything work as it is supposed to

  • Just got all the leds in to do this myself!

  • buy an electronic turn signal relay and it will flash normal :)

    (like a car)

  • Nice!

  • wow great job. i tried doing this but i gave up lol
