LED bulb conversion question on my 86' Spree

Post by eclark5483 »

So I'm working on the fine details of my scoot, and one of the things I want to do is convert the turn signal bulbs and the brake/running light into LED. First of all, I know I am going to need a relay/converter type device so that the turn signals don't blink too fast. I have read up on that already. The info I need is what bulbs to use and what relay to use.

Also... sneak peak at what I am doing with the Spree... here are some images of the hand guards I am using (before matching paint tone). These were originally clear white LED. I used some stained glass paint to make them Orange/Amber. I plan on integrating them with my front turn signals. Need to repaint the Right hand guard, I can still see some of the white coming through.. but...

I have read where using LED makes the blinkers flash at a higher rate. Since I also want to convert the other bulbs to LED, I want to make sure I am buying the proper bulbs and relay... thanks.

EDIT: eBay or Amazon links would be great, thanks.

Link please. That s*h#iT confuses me. There are so many to choose from, just wanna make sure I am buying the proper things. That's the main problem I am running into. I see MANY MANY links on eBay/Amazon for this and that. I just want a definitive link for the things I need, to make it all happen. No disrespect intended. I have followed the advice of MANY MANY people on this forum thus far. The main problem with the advice I have received, is links to to the ACTUAL products being recommended. Love you guys and I really, really appreciate your help with the Spree restore I am doing.

Find your stuck bulb number an add led bulb to that stock number or find aftermarket led turn signals.. That's what I did..

OK, hopefully I ordered the right stuff, and to help others out, I went with:

2-Pin Electronic LED Flasher Relay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/162047675356

2 (4) LUYED 800 Lumen Super Bright LED bulbs for the turn signals
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0173BDSUM

Bonlux 2-pack LED Ba15d Bulbs for the Brake/Tail light
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018KIU5SK


If these are the incorrect bulbs, hopefully someone can chime in here and let me know.
