LED Lamps (bulbs)
 
I'll be fitting the xenon headlights to my ZTT in a few weeks and having a rear indicator that is showing more clear than amber I thought I would replace all exterior lamps with LEDs at the same time.
Question being is it possible to obtain LEDs for all exterior lighting and if so any recommendations/links on what to buy?
Thanks in advance Ian

You'll need canbus friendly leds for all lights except fogs, side repeaters Ian. Not worth the hassle imo:shrug: I use Osram chrome diadem bulbs for indicators, very bright:cool:

From my experience at going LEDed, the only place worth fitting them is in the reverse lamps. No can-bus issues and they just work. Get the ultra bright Cree type and you'll actually see where you're reversing! Everywhere else was a disappointment for one reason or another.

Do they come with a free ZT-T then Ronnie :shrug:

LINK to the most expensive indicator bulbs I've seen in some time :eek:

As an aside, it would appear these "chrome" bulbs are intended for use in clear rear lamps, where the bulb envelope can be seen :cool::cool:

Brian :D

Definitely not cheap but it takes away the fried egg look from clear indicator lenses.

I have got to agree with T-Cut, the Cree type LED reversing lamps are a really good upgrade. ;)

The only others that I changed for LED were the front sidelights.
I thinks that they give off a nice clean white light, which makes the originals look quite yellow, in comparison.
