That's the issue with some led lamps, the difference between running light and brake light is so small that it really doesn't alert people behind you.

Got buy a good one

Going over the taillight and headlight led plug n plays would be a gd idea for a new video! You could buy a few brands and give us a review👍

Nice video. I didn't notice much of a difference to sway me to purchase led bulbs. I prefer to go the less expensive way and stick with incandescent bulbs. Ride aware, and "Keep on keeping on!"

Another good video! Just keep an eye on the LED ! I work in an auto parts store and quite a few people in the last year have purchased these bulbs and have had problems! A few have even had the light socket catch fire!!!

+3zonker88 - Thanks mate and will do! Thanks for the info.

pretty decent bulb. I just wish the brake light would be a bit brighter with the LED. Rise safe mate.

+vac0002 - yeah it's the only down fall!

One more test, night time. Check the light height of the globe glow, as different bulbs in Incandescent housings can change the light focus up/down/side.

I noticed that on my VanVan 200 after switching to LED build for rear\break light.

I wasn't much of a fan of the LED bulb conversions when I tried them either. I've also learned that size matters when it comes to visibility. Most riders here in the US are removing the large stock tail/stop lamps and replacing them with smaller ones from the DRZ400. I went the other way. I live in a part of the world famous for being gloomy most of the year and I've seen way too many riders rear-ended. It doesn't end well for the rider or their bike. I bent up a bracket and mounted a 7-inch (~175mm) LED light commonly seen on school/transit buses. 0.046 amps in tail light mode (or 0.135 amps for the fancier glow-ring style.) www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Trailer_Lights-sf-Tail_Lights-hs-LED_Light-co-Red-sz-7_Inch_Diameter.aspx This guy did something similar with a smaller light, but gets bonus points for style. Welding that lip around it to stiffen it up is a nice touch. There is a wide selection of these LED units sold for commercial trucks and trailers, so it is easy to pick one that suits your style and bike. tw200forum.com/forum/performance-customization/5893-homemade-rear-fender-eliminator.html

I actually have two seperate lights in my brake light housing. One is for the brake and the other is a running light - would you recommend this for my situation - considering when I am not breaking the top bulb wont be on at all...

Ha ha ha ha tea cup, well... actually literally right before watching this I went to get a cup from the cabinet and managed to dump olive oil over myself that the wife had stored in one, unbeknownst to me. Was a bit tiffed until I watched this and then laughed, your outcome was worse. ;-) Love the videos, keep them up.

Nobody has videos on replacing LEDs with incandescents... you know restoring to original ...

Is a resistor not required? If so 1 or 2?

Oh the dangers of cabinetry.

Thanks all for trying to improve electrical hardware to a non factory panicle unapproved on earth but actually practical in concept and application & actually can be used by human beings on this earth while operating a motor vehicle on any roadway on earth . thanks

If i was following you i would rather see the original Mark much easier to tell when you are breaking
