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.

Re: LED bulb conversion question on my 86' Spree
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.patthesoundguy wrote:Buy a 2$ led signal light flasher on eBay from from China replace stock flasher and off you go.

Find your stuck bulb number an add led bulb to that stock number or find aftermarket led turn signals.. That's what I did..eclark5483 wrote:Thank you, part has been ordered. Now all I need is links to the correct bulbs.

Re: LED bulb conversion question on my 86' Spree
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.
