I ran across these rear led signals and they were the look I was after. To top it off they are solid machined aluminum and built VERY well... color is almost a perfect match.:2thumbs:

:2thumbs: Sweet... Did you install the metric turn signal stabilizer as well.

I bought 6 ohm resistors but didn't need them. Everything works fine and I am code free...so far.

They look like they match perfectly. Good job!:2thumbs:

What is the source of these lights???

Source as in manufacturer?

Not so much the manufaturer, but the retail outlet, mail order supplier, local distributor, i.e. where can you buy them?

Those are a very nice match for your Spyder. :congrats: on finding them, and not throwing any codes as well.

Thanks. I unplugged the turn signals and it didn't code so I figured the turn signals weren't monitored by the system...or at least it wouldnt cause limp mode like the tail/brake lights.

I purchased them on E-bay but the seller is no longer carrying them.
Mine retailed for $59 and I bought them for $11:D
I found a similar product in satin black ($40)
Ebay Item 280414473709
and chrome($40)
Ebay Item 230365642721

I rode tonight for about 30 min. Still no problems related to the turn signals.
I do believe they may have the typical faster flash rate associated with LED lights....I may use the resistors but I don't know if it is really necessary?
Any pro's have any advice? Will the slightly quicker rate burn them up prematurely or damage the electrical system?:dontknow:

Here is a picture of them at night...turned on the flasher and managed to catch them with my cell phone.

Those look nice and bright. Sorry, I don't know anything about the flash rate.
Edit to add: I was just checking out the EBay deal, and they have the following statement on there:
**some bikes my experience faster flash rates see our flash rate controller section**
Hope that helps

I believe the flash rate controllers are simple resistors...I still haven't found an answer for whether or not the faster rate would negatively affect the signals or electrical system. I tried searching for an answer yesterday but didnt have any luck.
