Lightbulb LED signals delivered

The WatsenDesign LEDs have arrived

As you can see from the photos the overall appearance of the front of the bike is now cleaned up. Here are some before and after photos.

Here is shot showing the monstrosity next to the modern LED


Here are the factory blinkers


LED signal turned on next to the factory signal. Notice that although the size is significantly different; the luminosity factor of the much smaller LED matches (if not beats) the factory one.


Front side cleaned up and running lights ON

Re: LED signals delivered

I noticed Firefox has a problem displaying the picasa photo library. Do you have any other browsers?

Re: LED signals delivered

Pics working fine here in FF.
Anyone know of any LED or replacement signals that don't use the stock mounts on an 07? Mine were slightly damaged on a go down last year and hung loose a little. Hit a small pothole last week, top of the suspension snagged the back of the bracket and riped the whole thing loose from the fairing.

Re: LED signals delivered

From the looks of it they're plug-n-play.

I must admit I was thinking like you when they arrived. To my surprise the install was a snap; it took about 20 mins (total time). The stock signals unplugged easily, and the LEDs installed easier. Have you done the FE kit install? If you did that one, the signals are about 80% easier and faster to install.
