Searching for LEDs for Tail/Brake lights - any ideas?

[germanspyderrider]

Hello,
I am searching LED-Bulbs for the Tail and Brake light.

Do you have any proposals for me..??
I had read that it is not possible to change to any kind of LED bulb, as maybe the Spyder wont start??

Hi germanspyderrider, I can tell about the Brake lights, but I'm not exactly sure which other lights you want to change to LED's?? Do you mean the Reversing lights (back up? - you EU fella's & us Ozzies have something completely different to everyone else back there! ) or just the tail light that lets everyone know where the back end of the Spyder is??

There are LED's available with built in resistors so that you can use them in vehicles that are particularly voltage sensitive like our Spyders, hopefully someone will have an answer/source or part numbers for you - once we know exactly which lights you want to replace?

Ok - we have other rules about lightning in Germany.

You wrote a link for bulbs in amber - ours must be red..
Did you understand me now?

Sorry, brainfart on my end.

He's looking for an LED equivalent to a dual filament bulb used in combination brake/running lights, I think.

What is the OEM incandescent bulb and base number?

[germanspyderrider]

I can´t find the OEM

The specification (without LED) as analog bulb is 12V 21W/5W BAY15D

Is this any help?

Hello Pete,

many thanks, but it is only half help.

Our Spyders need bulbs (especially the brake light bulbs) that are canbus compatible.
If we use the normal LED bulbs the Spyder will throw a code that causes it to run in Limp Home mode, because the canbus is thinking there's a broken brake light.

Maybe I can simplify this ...... All Spyders have bulb MODEL / TYPE numbers assigned to them ..... Like H-3 or 9005 ( theses are for headlights ) .... take the bulb out and use the number printed on the bulb to find it's LED equivalent ..... Make sure the LED's are Can-bus ready ..... good luck .... Mike

That's what I did. I used the bulb designation and searched for LED equivalent. Further research may be needed to find ones that are Can-Bus ready.

https://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/bl...ix-with-video/ i particularly like the straightforward explanation and solutions here.

https://www.lazerlamps.com/blog/post...ith-can-wiring this is more of a generic explanation of can-bus systems, but is quite good I think

https://www.digikey.com/en/articles/...n-of-can-buses this is more technical, for eggheads like me

Amazon search for can-bus compatible bulbs https://www.amazon.com/s?k=Canbus+co...ref=nb_sb_noss

Do any of these help?

I know that some of the LED accessory lights used on Spyders have a small capacitor-looking device in the positive wire (for this reason I believe).

Most of the replies seemed to be helpful. I will admit that I was a little confused at the beginning. Yes, things are a lot different here in the USA. Hopefully everyone can get on the same page and move forward. Please read the posts and see if they are helpful. Questions, just ask. Little Blue.........
