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 I use Osram chrome diadem bulbs for indicators, very bright

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.

LINK to the most expensive indicator bulbs I've seen in some time As an aside, it would appear these "chrome" bulbs are intended for use in clear rear lamps, where the bulb envelope can be seen Brian |

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.
