led bulbs
« on: October 17, 2020, 06:34:41 AM »
Looking for a recommendation for LED bulbs for the turn signals on my 2013 V7.

Thanks

As I've said elsewhere

Two safety upgrades I suggest you make immediately. (1) Replace the turn signal bulbs with Amber LED RY10Ws. Make sure the pin offset is 150 degrees and the bulb length is not much if any longer than the dim 10W incandescent. (2) Replace the tail/brake light with a Red LED 1157. Yeah your license plate will be Pinkish at night but I doubt your LEO will care any more than mine do.
I can't speak to the turn flasher on a 2013 V7 but there were no problems on my 2019 V7 III Stone.

The V7 doesn't have a flasher relay, the dash takes care of that.
As far as I know there is no need to use load resistors, get back if you have a problem.
I buy all my LEDs here, they have a motorcycle section which allows you to put in make/model etc.
But be sure to zoom into the dimensions otherwise it may not fit.
The colour should match the bezel/lens, Amber for Amber etc although you can probably use any colour with a clear lens
