LED Lights for '86 Venture

[Rody 1949]

I would like to install running and brake LED tail lights (I understand they don't draw much power from the electric system/battery, right?) and yet they look very cool to me.

I'm pretty sure some of you have done it to your rides. Could you please tell me where do I get those, I know I can google it but, I prefer just follow what you have done.

Thanks

Rudy:)

Yep I did it , got them from superbrightled make sure you get the red ones , before i rewired the cms i used 1 1157 and 1 1157 red led so the darn flashing warning would not go off , somebody here posted how to bypass the cms but i forget who . do a search and you will find it .

Not the easiest but looks very good.

Ok, I'm going to read it carefully before I do something wrong, I'm sure I'll ask a couple more questions. Thank you so much.

OK so I am about ready to spring to have ALL led lights on my 88 standard except for the headlight.

I want to do the front and rear turn signals, running lights, brake, and all dash lights.

 

I know that Superbrightleds carries them, as do others, but they have a boatload of different styles of 1157 light. and 194 lights.

 

Can some one that has done this and is happy with their result let us/me know specifically which LED lights worked for everything.

 

I can deal with the flasher and CMU issues. I just need the bulb info.

Here's what one of the guys did...

 

 

LEDs for wedge mount

From superbrightleds.com... Amber bulbs that go in the rotorcover are WLED-A4 and are $1.59 each (4 LED narrow beam, amber). The red 9mm bayonet type bulbs are BA9s-R and are $.98 each. The bulbs I used in my upper light bar that are the blade type that I needed the light to come out sideways were WLED-R that are red, single LED, wide-inverted cone tip. These were $.87 each.

Brighter Brakes and turn signals

The stock bulb for the RSV is #1157. specs are 32/3 candlepower.

Bulb # 2357 has the same base, plugs right in.

Specs 40/3 candlepower.

Running light will be the same brightness, brake light will be 25% brighter.

If anyone is worried about the extra heat melting the lens...I've been using these bulbs in my '83, brake and turn signals, for about 8 years. I use the 2357LL (long life).
