    Question LED bulbs 2012 rss

    Has anybody changed their stock fender bulb to an LED bulb? I changed mine today and it looks amazing. Way brighter and cool. Has anybody had any issues after changing bulbs to LED? Should I keep them on?

    leave them running I did mine with fender lights which are amazing at night and makes you more visible during the day.

    Yeah I definitely love the way it looks but I was just wondering if anybody had any issues after, like a trouble code or something. I heard of spyders being sensitive with electrical upgrades. Thanks for the advise.

    Your bike looks great with those LEDs! Wish I could do my headlights also but my bike is a pain to replace with LED bulbs!

    Default No Problem...

    Here's the thing. I put them in the fender lights and also added outrigger brake lights in LED as well. As long as you have a regular incandecent bulb in that path they will work. Now if you replace all the bulbs in the path you may have problems. I left the original brake lights so they act as the normal ones and the fender lights are connected to the licence plate light which I also left OEM.

    I did it too. However, I used an amber LED bulb to contrast with the headlights and driving lights (conventional halogen). Never a problem.
