    Default LED Tail Lights

    Hello

    How to connect LED lamps to the rear tail and STOP lights on my Spyder GS? If I install these LED lamps in place of the original lamps, I get a VSS error.
    How can I solve this problem? It may be necessary to connect the resistor in parallel to the LED lamp? How much ohm should this resistor be?
    Thank You!

    p.s. Sorry for bad english...

    ..... Why are you switching them to LED ...... if you just ADD them you won't have any issues ..... I did this to mine and it worked fine .....the Nanny never noticed the small load increase ...... but She will notice a major decrease .... Mike

    I agree with Mike.
    I have LEDs on my saddle bags. Wired in parallel with my OEM tail lights and have NO problems.

    I just replaced the 1057 regular bulb with a 1057 LED, works fine no issues.

    What is "1057 LED" ?

    On my spyder I want to remove the ALL standard bulbs and install the LED bulbs. It's more reliable and fine and less energy consumption.
    Below on photo i install center LED stop light and combined daytime running light and fog light instead of original xenon

    I found rear LED lights for spyder: http://chromeglow.com/products/brake...ht-conversion/
    But it's very expensive for me I can do the same with original tail lights and with my own hands in my workshop.

    Alex;

    the 1057 designation is the USA two filament (combination brake and tail light in one bulb); you can find the number of your bulb on either the bulb itself or printed onto the base of the bulb. A 1057 LED is a exact replacement of a standard two filament bulb with an LED equivalent.

    Hope this helps to clear up the confusion. Having never traveled out to the US, (except with my military service time) my knowledge of European or Russian standards is lacking entirely.

    Alex, I have the same problem ('08 GS SM5). I just replaced tail/brake bulbs with LEDs and get limp mode. If I have one LED and one reg bulb everything works. With two LEDs I get limp mode and brake lights don't work, only tail lights. I want LED bulbs in the original spots and I don't want to add anything to to back of the spyder. Is there something that can be done to solve this. Thanks in advance for any help. John Fragale
